Deport Racism Organization

The Deport Racism Organization, known in Greek as Κίνηση Απελάστε το Ρατσισμό and commonly abbreviated as KAR, is a Greek anti-racism organization founded in 2007. It brings together immigrants and Greek citizens around opposition to racism and neo-fascism. The organization’s stated program has focused on the legalization of immigrants, protection and asylum for refugees, citizenship for children of immigrants, equal political and social rights, access for migrant workers to trade unions, and the dissolution of fascist organizations. KAR’s activities have included public political advocacy, participation in demonstrations, and the presentation of evidence concerning alleged fascist violence. In April 2010, it protested police raids in Athens. During the October 2010 prefectural and municipal pre-election period, the organization presented evidence alleging that Golden Dawn had participated in or organized attacks against Alekos Alavanos, a candidate for the Attica prefecture, and Eleni Portaliou, a candidate for the municipality of Athens; both candidates were associated with SYRIZA. These activities placed KAR within the wider Greek anti-racist and anti-fascist movement during a period of heightened political conflict over immigration, policing, and the growth of far-right organizations. The available reference material identifies KAR primarily as a civic and political organization rather than a commercial brand. No reliable information in the supplied sources establishes a corporate structure, commercial product portfolio, founder, headquarters, current leadership, ownership, financial profile, or official website. Its public identity is therefore best understood through its advocacy objectives and political interventions rather than through consumer offerings or market positioning.

The Deport Racism Organization, or KAR, was established in Greece in 2007 by immigrants and Greek citizens opposed to racism and neo-fascism. Its stated objectives combine migrant-rights advocacy with a broader anti-fascist program. These objectives include legalizing immigrants, providing asylum to refugees, granting citizenship to children of immigrants, securing equal political and social rights, enabling migrant workers to participate in trade unions, and dissolving fascist organizations. The organization operated in a Greek political environment in which questions of immigration, policing, asylum, and far-right mobilization were increasingly prominent. Rather than functioning as a commercial enterprise, KAR acted as a campaigning and political organization. Its public work included demonstrations, criticism of state practices, and interventions in electoral and anti-fascist debates. In April 2010, KAR protested police raids in Athens. The action reflected its opposition to policing practices that it regarded as harmful or discriminatory toward immigrants. Later that year, during the prefectural and municipal pre-election period in October, KAR presented evidence concerning alleged involvement by Golden Dawn in attacks against Alekos Alavanos, who was standing for the Attica prefecture, and Eleni Portaliou, who was standing for the municipality of Athens. Both candidates were associated with SYRIZA. The episode illustrates KAR’s role in documenting and publicizing alleged far-right violence during an important period of political contestation. The supplied reference material does not provide verified information about the organization’s founder, formal leadership, internal structure, headquarters, funding, current activities, dissolution, or successor organization. Its present status therefore remains unspecified. The organization’s documented historical identity is that of a Greek anti-racist and anti-fascist movement advocating legal and social equality for immigrants and refugees.
