On the 28th of June, 2024, a meeting took place with a singular focus: the launch of an ambitious and revolutionary initiative, Bystanders No More (BNM). This group, led by Dr. Raj Thamotheram, is all set to break the silence that often surrounds discussions on human rights, particularly in relation to the Palestinians. Today, we will delve into the key takeaways from this exciting meeting.
Meeting the Team
The team at Bystanders No More is an impressive mix of professionals and academics, all committed to answering one important question: Why do so many people remain silent on vital issues? BNM’s objective is not just to identify the problems, but also to find viable solutions that encourage individuals to speak out. With Dr. Pooja Sawrikar on board, we can expect this initiative to bring positive change.
“Bystanders No More (BNM) is a community-driven group that wishes to help ‘supportive but silent’ people find ways to show support for Palestinian human rights.”
What’s in the Cards for BNM?
BNM’s strategy is rooted in research. They conducted an anonymous survey that garnered nearly 250 responses, providing valuable insights into the reasons why people hesitate to voice their support for Palestinian human rights. The findings highlighted a range of factors: from fear of being labeled anti-Semitic to feeling overwhelmed by powerful institutions.
BNM aims to leverage these insights to craft strategic actions that can amplify their message and motivate the silent majority to step up and voice their support.
