About Us
The Blood Money Campaign (BMC) is campaign group which composed with a collective effort of individuals from diverse communities, including university students, ethnic communities, persons with disabilities, minority religious groups, social and political activists, student union and pro-democracy supporters who want to fight against the military junta and its oppressions
We Started
The Blood Money Campaign (BMC) was initiated after the 2021 coup attempt by the Myanmar junta. 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.
Vision
To end all kinds of dictatorship in Myanmar and ensure good governance in the natural resource sector for the benefit of the people.
Mission
To decrease the revenue flows to the military junta from the natural resource sector. ● To monitor all businesses/investments in the natural resource sector to follow the business and human rights principles. ● To advocate and raise awareness among the public and diverse stakeholders regarding military-owned/linked businesses. ● To decrease the arms flow to the junta ● Stand with the local people in the case of resource issues.
Goal
The military dictatorship in Myanmar shall be weakened by decreasing the primary revenue flows from the natural resource sector and saving more lives of the people in Myanmar by distracting the mechanism of the military’s atrocities.
