If you are reading this, it is probably because you care about the work, life and safety of Nobel Peace Prize laureate Professor Muhammad Yunus. If so, those of us involved in helping keep him safe welcome you into the “Protect Yunus” campaign.
We have identified several action steps that any citizen can take to help our cause. They are:
- Circulate the open letter to the Bangladeshi Prime Minister and urge others to take action in support of it using this link: https://protectyunus.wpcomstaging.com/2023/03/07/global-leaders-appeal-to-the-bangladeshi-prime-minister-regarding-the-treatment-of-professor-muhammad-yunus-in-an-open-letter/
- Write to your elected representatives at the federal level (such as your Congressperson and Senators if you live in the United States) and urge them to take action in support of Professor Yunus and human rights in Bangladesh.
- Write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper about the Bangladesh government’s treatment of Professor Yunus and the human rights situation there generally (you can read about the human rights issues in Bangladesh here).
- Follow the PY Yunus Campaign on Twitter and Facebook to stay informed.
- Get involved with some of the great organizations Professor Yunus has started in the United States, such as Grameen Foundation and Grameen America, and ones advocating for sustainable change globally that he is involved with, such as RESULTS.
- Make a financial contribution to the Protect Yunus Campaign to help us sustain our efforts.
We welcome your suggestions about how we can best work together to protect Professor Yunus. You can email us anytime at protectmdyunus@gmail.com.
