Climate Group Letzte Generation Rebrands as Neue Generation with Expanded Focus

The activist group shifts from climate-specific protests to broader democracy initiatives, including citizen assemblies and direct action against systemic injustices.

• Letzte Generation has officially renamed itself Neue Generation, signaling a broader mission beyond climate activism to include democratic reform.
• The group plans to establish 'Parliaments of the People,' starting with a May assembly near the Bundestag, followed by local events across Germany.
• These assemblies will function similarly to citizens' councils, with members selected through a lottery system to propose solutions to societal issues.
• Neue Generation will also launch a 'Resistance Collective' focused on direct actions targeting destruction and systemic injustices.
• The group, previously known for disruptive climate protests like road blockades and monument defacement, announced a strategic shift in early 2024.
