Whether you are a social media activist who rather do your activism from the sofa, or whether you simply have too much to do and too little time to do it: this is the episode for you!

We boil down the last three episodes into one so that even if you are feeling lazy or rushed you can still take a moment to find out what the fuck is happening in Belarus.

This is a special edition of the Change Rebels podcast. The podcast that brings you stories from the changemakers at the frontline of youth, peace and security. You will get 15 minutes’ summaries of this week’s three interviews. First we discuss massarrests and the call for change by protesters in Belarus with activists and changemakers on the ground. Dzmitry Heryovich chairperson, and Lavon Marozo, international secretary of RADA, the youth council in Belarus. Then we meet with the president of the Youth League of the Swedish Liberal political party, Romina Pourmokhtari, who are calling for European support to Belarus. Finally, Frank Berglund, vice president of RFSL - The Swedish Federation for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Intersex Rights - introduces us to the interlink between LGBTQI rights, gender and authoritarian regimes.

CAL FOR HELP!

LSU, the national council of Swedish youth organisations, has had a sister relationship with RADA for many years. They are united in a global partnership, including eight countries. Together they are fighting shrinking space, building leadership capacity, and supporting one another financially and organically. Since the escalating events in Belarus we watch an emergency develop in Belarus. Our existing funds are not enough and cannot be used for this purpose - but now they are in urgent need of OUR SUPPORT.

If you would like to support RADA, you can swish to LSU's number, and mark your deposit with RADA. On all RADA-marked deposits, the money goes to them in full.
