July36 is a volunteer-driven archive preserving the images, videos, and stories of Bangladesh's July Revolution — before they disappear forever.
In July 2024, the people of Bangladesh rose up in a historic mass uprising against an authoritarian regime. Students and citizens took to the streets, sacrificing their lives for freedom, justice, and democracy.
July36 exists because powerful actors — from state-aligned media to coordinated IT cells — are actively working to distort, suppress, and erase the digital record of what happened. Photographs are being scrubbed. Videos are vanishing. Narratives are being rewritten.
We are a community of volunteers — archivists, developers, journalists, and ordinary citizens — building a permanent, decentralized record of the July Revolution that no one can take down.
The suppression is not accidental. It is systematic, well-funded, and multi-pronged. Here is what we are fighting against.
Indian hegemony-powered media outlets in Bangladesh actively distort coverage of the uprising, reframing legitimate protest as instability and erasing the sacrifices of ordinary citizens.
Anti-Bangladeshi IT cells deploy mass-reporting campaigns, SEO manipulation, and coordinated social media operations to bury authentic content and flood platforms with counter-narratives.
Photographs, videos, and eyewitness accounts are being systematically removed from social media platforms through mass flagging, DMCA abuse, and pressure on platform companies.
Those who control the present, control the past. Those who control the past, control the future. We refuse to let them control any of it.
