RAZAM e.V.

At the Berlin Belarus Future Forum, I called on our European partners to prepare now for democratic change in Belarus, develop concrete plans for European integration, and maintain their support for our society. Belarusians must see that Europe is not some distant dream, but a real alternative to the ‘Russian world’. We are doing our part. We have developed reform plans and are strengthening our international representation. When the opportunity for change comes, we want it to bring lasting freedom, so our people can choose their future and never again lose that right. And while today may seem dark, moments like these often create opportunities. That is why Belarus must be ready when the moment comes. And Europe must be ready, too. Berlin reminds us that even the strongest walls can fall. That dictatorships do not last forever. And that what seems impossible today can become reality tomorrow. Thank you @boell_stiftung, together with @KASonline @FESonline @FNFreiheit, and our partners @belarusrazam @LiberecoPHR & Science at Risk, for bringing us together to work towards this future.

Join us in marking the International Day of Solidarity with Belarus on March 25. This day marks the 1918 proclamation of Belarus’ independence from Russia. Under 30 years of Lukashenka’s dictatorship, March 25 has become a symbol of resistance against oppression and tyranny.

It's always important for me to meet fellow Belarusians wherever I go, to support one another & discuss the challenges we face. Yesterday I joined our diaspora in Berlin, organized by @belarusrazam. Proud of our united, active community—together, we will bring change to #Belarus.
