Overview
- In Berlin, volunteers gather for prayer and breakfast at the Khadija Mosque in Heinersdorf before cleanups start at 9:00 in Pankow and 9:30 on Sonnenallee in Neukölln.
- Imam Scharjil Khalid announced the nationwide mobilization and expects roughly 100 participants from the local Berlin community.
- Organizers cast the effort as a signal of responsibility and cohesion set against debate over the cityscape following Chancellor Merz’s October remarks on migration.
- The cleanup is described as a roughly 30-year tradition that now also involves recent arrivals who say they want to show gratitude for living in Germany.
- Volunteers are asked to register so the city sanitation service can provide sufficient brooms and trash bags for the operation.
