Pray for Belarus

The newly appointed United States Ambassador to Belarus Julie D. Fisher had a meeting with a co-founder of Belarus Solidarity Foundation Jaroslav Likhachevskiy this morning in Vilnius, Lithuania.

Madam Ambassador asked a co-founder of BYSOL what in his opinion makes the current situation in Belarus different from what was happening in 2004 and 2010. “Technologies,” said Jaroslav Likhachevskiy, “the IT-technologies allowed us to unite Belarusian not only inside of the country but all over the world, as well. They also provided us an opportunity to financially support the civil society and human rights activists inside of Belarus in a safe way, untraceable for the regime.”

Fisher was impressed by the solidarity of the Belarusian diaspora in the USA. Belarusians from Boston, NY, Seattle, California, LA, and Florida support the grassroots initiatives and strike committees in Belarus, as well as run several peer-to-peer support projects.

BYSOL (Belarus Solidarity) Foundation supports democracy and civil society in Belarus. During the last 7 months, supported the strike committees on the major factories (€742.500), social initiatives of different professional and local groups (over €143.000), political prisoners (over €27.000), people fired for their political views (€1.95M), and other groups and individuals who contributed to the future of the democratic society. BYSOL supports “Pray for Belarus” media channels also.
