A volunteer-led non-profit, ARCC e.V., has united its efforts since 2021 to challenge and transform racist and pervasive white supremacist cultural and social norms. Actively working to contribute to a society that acknowledges and confronts racism and racial injustice, at both the individual and structural levels.
Every person in the world engages with race, racism, and its legacies, and it is crucial to recognise that neutrality in the face of racism is not possible. We are commonly led to believe that it is only non-white people—those who experience racism—who have a race. The truth is, everyone is racialised in some sense. This means we are all responsible for addressing racism. At ARCC e.V., we believe that addressing racism is a responsibility everyone should take on.
True commitment to racial justice involves active engagement and a willingness to confront and dismantle racist systems. The opposite of being "racist" is not merely being "not racist"; it is being "antiracist." This means actively identifying, challenging, and opposing racism at every level, from individual attitudes to institutional practices. As an organisation, we are dedicated to fostering antiracist values and actions, working diligently to transform cultural and social norms that uphold white supremacy. Through education, advocacy, and community mobilisation, we aim to create a society that not only acknowledges but actively addresses and eliminates racism and racial injustice.
The Anti-Racism & Culture Club (ARCC) e.V., is a not-for-profit organisation founded and operating primarily in Munich, Germany.
We are also an official University Group (Hochschulgruppe) recognised by the Ludwig-Maximilian-University of Munich (LMU). Visit the LMU's Webpage for more information.
At ARCC e.V., we are dedicated to fostering a world where racial justice and cultural diversity are deeply embedded in everyday life. Through education, activism, and community engagement, we strive to create meaningful change and build a more inclusive society.
We’ve explained what ARCC e.V. is, but you’re probably wondering what we actually do and what we want to achieve - and how. Here’s a small summary.
Meet the ARCC e.V. team of board members and volunteers — the organisers, coordinators, treasurers, secretaries, and advocates who make our projects happen. This remarkable team brings a wealth of experience and dedication towards making a meaningful difference.
We're still growing and therefore do not yet have offices where you can reach us or come by to say hi. Most of our work is conducted remotely or at spaces provided by the kind people at the Bürgerhaus Glockenbachwerkstatt in Munich and the LeZ (Lesbisch-Queeres Zentrum), also in Munich.

We are dedicated to providing resources and support for individuals and communities striving for racial justice and equity. Our initiatives aim to educate, mobilize, and empower those committed to creating a just society.
While much of our work is targeted towards engaging in dialogue with people in everyday contexts through our themed events, we're also finding ways to make a more continuous and lasting impact. This involves working on projects that have the potential to effect lasting change beyond our event halls. The first step towards this goal is meeting with our audiences at our events. From these meetings, ideas for projects emerge, addressing areas in society, culture, and socio-political contexts where racism is present and pervasive but often neglected.
Explore our dedicated section for the latest calls, openings, and collaboration projects at ARCC e.V. Here you will find detailed information for potential partners, authorities, and advisory board members.
This section includes open calls for speakers at our panel events and lecture talks, current openings for collaboration and positions, and opportunities for financial or skill-based support beyond one-time donations.

Some people prefer talking to e-mail correspondence. We get that.
At ARCC, we offer two kinds of membership. An Active Membership and a Passive Membership. Our statutes define active members as those who have voting rights within the non-profit, such as at general meetings, while passive members do not have this privilege. The executive committee and the extended executive committee are only elected from active members. Although there are no legal terms that define the difference between active and passive members, we have established our own guidelines.
Uniquely, ARCC does not levy a membership fee, reflecting our commitment to inclusivity.
