Today on Martyred Intellectuals Day (শহীদ বুদ্ধিজীবী দিবস) we honour the intellectuals targeted and murdered by the collaborators of Pakistani forces during the 1971 Liberation War. The killings were aimed to eliminate the intellectual class of Bangladesh.

12 years ago, we witnessed one of the deadliest workplace tragedies in recent history—over 1,100 lives lost and more than 2,500 injured. In the aftermath, brands made bold promises to improve conditions, but most of those commitments were left unfulfilled. #ranaplaza
The Accord—legally binding—has brought some progress, but there’s still a long way to go. In recent years, workers pushing for fair wages have faced immense violence and retaliation.
We proudly endorse the annual Palestinian Land Day rally and march on Saturday March 29 at 2pm at Yonge Dundas Square.
We encourage the Bangladeshi diaspora to come out, join us and express our solidarity with the Palestinian people and our shared cause for a free Palestine.

We don't want BNP, not Jamaat, not the Army. We want the brightest minds of our generation to come together and lead this country to the heights it deserves.
We need people who serve the country and its people, not people who make sure that the country and its people serve them
