We Started

The Blood Money Campaign (BMC) was initiated after the 2021 coup attempt by the Myanmar junta. The BMC team is comprised of activists with diverse backgrounds such as students, youths, education, peace, civic engagement, person with disabilities, LGBTIQ+, research and people in research, IT and design. BMC was set up in May 2021 and there were five activists who, individually and independently, use collective leadership and collective decision-making for campaign movements. Then, we collected more activists, and all of them made a united contribution to the BMC team individually.

BMC aims to demodulate the junta’s business pillars because the junta runs military mechanisms with money, especially millions of dollars. Our common goals are to regain power in the hands of the people, complete removal of the military from Myanmar’s politics and complete eradication of fascist military on Myanmar land. We target cutting off foreign revenues to the military junta to weaken military power and to pressure companies that keep doing business with the military junta, be it directly or indirectly, to apply practically business and human rights.
