The Rosa Luxemburg Foundation (German: Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung), named in recognition of Rosa Luxemburg, occasionally referred to as Rosa-Lux, is a transnational alternative policy lobby group and educational institution, centered in Germany and affiliated to the democratic socialist Left Party. The foundation states that it "stands for democratic socialism with an unwavering internationalist focus" and is "committed to a radical perspective emphasizing public awareness, education, and social critique."[1] The foundation was established in Berlin in 1990 (originally as the "Social Analysis and Political Education Association").[2] In 2018, the German state subsidized the work of the foundation with 64 million euros.[3]
