January 3, 2025 | 0 Comments

Bermuda Is Love announced the launch of the #GettoKnowBIL campaign, a “powerful movement aimed at reintroducing Bermuda Is Love [BIL] to the island community as both a vital grassroots community organization and a registered charity #1051.”

A spokesperson said, “Through this campaign, we invite the people of Bermuda to learn more about our mission, vision, and the essential work we do to build a more just, compassionate, and thriving community.

“Bermuda Is Love [BIL] stands for the fundamental belief that love, care, and mutual support can build a society where everyone’s basic needs are met and where all individuals are empowered to live fulfilling, dignified lives. We believe that human rights are non-negotiable, and it’s our collective responsibility to ensure that each person has access to these rights.

Our Ideology:

“At Bermuda Is Love, we are deeply committed to building a community of love and empathy, where basic needs like food, housing, clothing, education, healthcare, justice, and a healthy environment are guaranteed for all. We are a community-led organization focused on addressing the systemic issues that create inequality, and we believe that real change happens when we work together to ensure every individual has the resources and opportunities they deserve.

What We Do:

“Our work is driven by a holistic approach that centers on seven key pillars of human rights and well-being. Through the #GettoKnowBIL campaign, we will shine a light on these pillars and the ways in which we address them within our community:

The Right to Food – Ensuring everyone has access to nourishing food and combating food insecurity.
The Right to Housing – Advocating for affordable and secure housing for all members of our community.
The Right to Clothing – Providing access to essential clothing and addressing issues of poverty.
The Right to Education – Ensuring equitable access to education, empowering individuals with the tools they need to thrive.
The Right to Healthcare – Ensuring every Bermudian has access to necessary healthcare, including mental health services.
The Right to Justice – Advocating for a fair and just legal system that serves all people equally.
The Right to a Healthy Environment – Promoting sustainability and environmental policies that protect our natural resources for future generations.

How We Make a Difference:

Building Community: We organize events, host discussions, and create spaces where people come together to support each other.
Raising Awareness: Through targeted campaigns, we help raise awareness of the urgent need for social change and action.
Meeting Basic Needs: Through our various programs, we provide immediate support to those facing challenges, including food distribution, clothing assistance, legal advice, and educational resources.
Advocacy and Working Groups: Our advocacy efforts are supported by seven working groups, each focused on one of the seven pillars of Bermuda Is Love. These groups actively work to address systemic issues, push for policies that uphold human rights, and engage with the public to advocate for change.
