[1][2][3] In 1995, a group of young activists founded RAW "simply because the homophobia predominant in our society - and sadly enough even amongst leftists - pisses us off.
This position is stated in the manifesto drawn up for the group's foundation: RAW are present at most anti-fascist events in Austria.
The activists are concerned with "racism, queer-feminism, homophobia, anti-fascism (still and forever...), also with alternative models of life and relationships, surveillance, lookism, with prohibitionism, the politics of suppression and a lot more.
"[4] The Viennese activists participate in demonstrations against fascism or capitalism in Austria like the manifestation against Austria's national holiday, the walks against poverty, the demonstrations No one is illegal, the "Feminist actions against Christian fundamentalism“ in Salzburg or at the Rainbow Parade in Vienna.
[citation needed] Previously, RAW was located at the Ernst Kirchweger Haus in Vienna.
