The world is unequally and unjustly divided when it comes to money and power. Alert believes that it is important that young people, via activism and progressive projects, are able to deliver a contribution to the exposure and improvement of the balance of power and economical inequality.
Climate change and the exploitation of our earth is a serious problem that has negative effects on vulnerable groups of people, animals, and the environment itself. Alert supports initiatives that contribute to the awareness and/or behavior modification regarding sustainable life.
Alert believes that everyone should be treated equally, offered equal chances, and not be discriminated against in society. Alert therefore supports actions, protests and other activistic projects which contribute to the emancipation of women, LGBTQIA+, and fight against racism.
Alert wants all young people to be able to live in freedom. This is why Alert supports initiatives that focus on the conscientization of human rights and / or actions that demand these rights. Freedom of speech, freedom to and access to education and free media play important roles.
