Is the pen indeed mightier than the sword? The recent meeting of Bystanders No More (BNM), a non-profit organization dedicated to addressing media bias and influencing narratives, certainly suggests so. The group convened on July 8, 2024, to strategize, delegate tasks, and discuss key initiatives.

Key Focus: Media Bias and Influencer Engagement

In an era where social media influencers can sway public opinion, BNM is keen on utilizing this power to combat media bias. The group discussed recruiting social media volunteers and engaging influencers like Josh Paul to help propagate their cause. To contribute to this initiative, BNM encourages interested individuals to reach out directly via their <a href=’contact”>https://www.bystandersnomore.com/contact-us/’>contact page.

Writing for Change: The Power of the Written Word

The meeting emphasized the power of writing in influencing narratives and changing perspectives. Sunjeev Bery, a confirmed participant, offered an opportunity for volunteers to write to his 125,000 subscribers. The organization also encourages volunteers to write petitions aimed at mainstream media bias. The goal is to establish a team of 5-20 powerful content creators who can effectively challenge and counter media bias.

If you are wrong, if you are bigoted, you will be held accounted

As the meeting notes suggested, the power of writing is not just about volume but also about precision, focus, and the ability to inspire action. Anyone can learn writing, and all it takes is being open to edits, understanding what motivates action, and mastering the art of attention-grabbing.

Media Bias: The Core Issue

One of the key concerns raised during the meeting was the alleged reluctance of outlets like The New York Times to use the term ‘genocide’ as a matter of policy. This concern underscores the broader issue of media bias, which BNM aims to challenge. The organization believes that addressing media bias is not just about pointing out errors but also about influencing change in editorial policies.

Call to Action: Volunteer and Contribute

BNM is in need of volunteers who can assist in their social media campaigns, write powerful content, and contribute to their cause. It is an open invitation for those who want to use their skills for a purpose. To volunteer, you can get in touch with BNM directly or connect with Sunjeev Bery through his <a href=’Calendly”>https://calendly.com/sunjeevcal/30′>Calendly page.
