Support BYSOL!

For six years we've been building BYSOL — a fundraising platform and a rapid-response lifeline for people targeted by repression in Belarus. That repression did not end with the protests of 2020: people are still imprisoned for their views, and still have to leave the country at a few hours' notice. Our work rests on solidarity and empathy — on everyone, inside Belarus and beyond, who is willing to stand with people under pressure.

Maybe you've already given to someone through BYSOL. Maybe this is the first time you're hearing about us. Either way, every case is different, but every fundraiser begins long before it appears on the site. Someone on our team took the call on our Hotline and assessed how urgent the situation was. Mapped out a safe route if the person had to get out of the country. Checked whether publishing the story was safe at all. Verified the facts. Arranged the payments. This is the work no one sees, and it happens every day.

Support BYSOL so that this system keeps running and people can keep getting help when they need it. Every contribution makes BYSOL stronger and more resilient. Join the people who make our core work possible:

 — Running fundraisers
 — Emergency evacuation
 — A free Hotline
 — Payments to political prisoners and their families
 — Support for Belarusians serving as volunteer soldiers in Ukraine
 — Fundraisers for civic initiatives

You can support us with a one-time donation or a monthly subscription. A one-time gift is help right here, right now. A monthly gift is the foundation that lets us plan our work ahead.
