Years that this action day was marked: 2014, 2016

Description: On 2 August, the NHSM marked Remembrance Day for the Roma Holocaust by mobilising young people to take action against Romaphobia and to show solidarity with the Roma people.

The Action Days mobilise the national campaigns and European partners of the No Hate Speech Movement in joint activities on specific forms or targets of hate speech. Each Action Day has a programme of activities prepared in co-operation with the national campaign co-ordinators, online activists and campaign partners.
