“Es ist Punkt 12!” is a German health advocacy movement bringing together patients, families, healthcare professionals and supporters concerned about planned health reforms and cuts to healthcare and social support. Its message, “Enough is enough—healthcare instead of austerity,” calls for a strong, accessible health system that protects people who depend on care, treatment and community support. The movement organizes public demonstrations in cities across Germany and invites people to take part, follow livestreams and support its work through donations.

Its website provides information about the campaign’s aims, a manifesto, event schedules and ways to participate. It also introduces a wide range of speakers, including doctors, nurses, midwives, therapists, patients, parents, authors and artists, who share professional knowledge and personal experiences. Their contributions highlight issues such as long waits for psychological support, pressure on healthcare workers and the needs of children and people with chronic illnesses.

Through events, public testimony and music, “Es ist Punkt 12!” seeks to turn concern and frustration into collective action and a broader public conversation about healthcare priorities
