Campact

Campact is a German non-governmental organization that aims at creating political pressure in a wide variety of issues through mass digital mobilization.

[2] In October 2019 Campact lost its non-profit status,[3] but was not lastingly hurt in its operations due to a substantial growth in donations.

In 2024 Campact donated substantial amounts of money to left-wing political parties, with the SPD receiving €160,000, the Alliance 90/The Greens €233,300 and Die Linke €56,600 as of September 2024.

As in the previous case concerning Attac, the Berlin revenue office explained its decision in part by referring to the campaigns not serving the purpose of political education.

In an email to around 2.3 million supporters, managing director Kolb gave two reasons for the warning: first, the regular violations of government-mandated physical distancing measures (wearing of a nose-mouth covering and maintaining a minimum distance of 1.5 metres from other participants) at the rallies; second, the participation of adherents of far-right or extreme-right views in the organization of the Hygienedemos.

[12] In an interview with the taz later that month, Kolb mentioned that the email had triggered an unexpectedly vigorous wave of positive and negative responses, while he defended his step.

The number of donors contributing less than €200 per year was 94 per cent, which press spokeswoman Clara Koschies cited as proof that Campact had remained crowdfunded.
