Everyone Group

EveryOne Group is an organization of people who operate outside any political wing or faction and who are committed to fighting discrimination and in particular the persecution of minority groups and in favour of human rights. It is important to emphasize this aspect of our group, because it allows the group to protect minorities even when party ideologies are transformed and phenomena like racism, xenophobia and homophobia take root – like diseases – where we would least expect it.
EveryOne was created because people who share the same ideals came together and decided to join forces, experience, and ideas in order to defend human lives, culture and lifestyles. Some of the activists in the group have been carrying out campaigns in defence of human rights for over a decade, others have joined us recently.
The name for the group was chosen two years ago. Most of the articles in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights start with “EveryOne”.
We sometimes compare our group to the Westerweel group, that in the early 1940s opposed the persecution of the Jews in Holland and the Holocaust. The Westerweel group saved many Jews from deportation and the gas chambers. Two years ago Roberto Malini met a Holocaust survivor and leader of the Westerweel group, Mirjam Waterman Pinkhof. Today Mirjam is over 90 years old, but she is an extraordinary woman, capable of transmitting the true force of humanitarian ideals, a force made up of a mixture of courage, altruism, responsibility and sacrifice. Mirjam is very supportive of EveryOne. During the Holocaust she saved over 70 Jewish children. EveryOne Group is animated by a similar project:
“We have no wish to take part in politics or win over the sympathies of the press or those in power. We want to save human lives and protect the weak from persecution”.
