Any Belarusian can join the Movement and choose from numerous options to resist the war and Belarus' regime.
Here is an overview of the Movement on May 16.
Support for Ukrainians and Belarusians
- Belarusian footballer Yury Kendysh, who plays for the Latvian FC Riga, and his teammates purchased a Nissan X-Trail for the Ukrainian army.
- Belarusian volunteers returned a cat from Bucha to its owners. The cat had been brought to Homiel, where Belarusian volunteers found him and contacted the owners using their contacts from the cat's pendant. The cat was given a new veterinary passport and a chip and handed over to Polish volunteers at the border, who sent him to the owners.
- Belarusians of Batumi, Georgia, held a charity half-marathon Run for Ukraine Batumi.

- On May 15, the delegation of Belarus attended the solemn ceremony dedicated to 77th anniversary of the Mauthausen camp liberation to commemorate the camp's prisoners. The organizers did not invite representatives of the Belarusian embassy in Austria to the ceremony because of the regime's complicity in the aggression against Ukraine.
Sabotage
- The Hajun project, which monitors the movements of Russian troops in Belarus, released an operational summary for the day.

Resistance
- Minsk residents held partisan actions to support the Belarus Kastus Kalinouski Battalion and the defenders of Mariupol.
- Belarusians continue painting anti-war messages in their cities.
- Belarusians of Minsk honored the memory of Pavel “Volat”, a Belarusian military volunteer of the Kalinouski Battalion who was killed while liberating Ukraine from Russian army forces.
