I want to list important BD 2.0 websites for easy reference in the future. If you know one or more, please share in the comment section.
JulyUprising
This news archive is dedicated to the July Revolution in Bangladesh, also known as the StudentâPeople Uprising 2024. This pro-democracy movement began as a quota reform protest led by Students Against Discrimination after the Bangladesh Supreme Court invalidated a 2018 government circular concerning public sector job quotas. The movement escalated following the government's violent crackdown on protesters, culminating in Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's resignation and flight to India. Subsequently, an interim government was established under Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus.
July Revolutionary Alliance
The July Revolutionary Alliance (JRA) is a nongovernmental and nonprofit organization based in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Its mission is to honor and remember the heroes of the July movement. The organization maintains an online platform to document and commemorate individuals involved in the movement. The organization joined Twitter in January 2025.
Dismislab
Dismislab is an independent, neutral, and nonpartisan online verification and media research platform. It began as an information laboratory that monitored current affairs, conducted research, verified information, and, above all, worked to enhance the critical thinking ability of journalists and readers.
RumorScanner

Friends of Bangladesh
The website Friends of Bangladesh is an initiative focused on supporting Bangladesh's recovery and development following the end of autocratic rule (January 2009 â August 2024). It highlights:
- The background of Bangladeshâs challenges, including corruption and economic damage under the prior regime.
- The formation of an Interim Government led by intellectuals and activists aiming to restore democracy, human rights, and press freedom.
- Specific calls to action: supporting families of martyrs and injured protesters who played roles in toppling the previous regime.
- The group evolved from the Protect Yunus Campaign (defending Nobel laureate Dr. Muhammad Yunus), which has been active since 2010.
- It promotes accurate reporting about Bangladesh amid misinformation.
- Public face: Sam Daley-Harris, founder of RESULTS, Microcredit Summit Campaign, and Civic Courage.
The site includes sections like History, Media, Blog, Donate, and Contact, and it encourages global diaspora engagement.
If you want, I can summarize their mission statement or donor options too.
