Thank you all for your donations today.
And also for the comments you left.
Your feedback is what keeps us going. And gives us the confirmation that the effort we put into it is valuable.

It also comes with a responsibility. A responsibility to continue. So we will continue to find and upload stories to our website and will continue to create banners. Also today we started discussing the plan to make postcards that can be handed out to bypassers during commemorations. 

I like to share with you some feedback we received yesterday:

“We get a lot of response to your banners. This week it was used for the first time in Utrecht (three times now) and it is really noticable how many response there is, specifically from bypassers. I think it is also a way for people to start a conversation - especially at sit-ins - as the people who are carrying the banners are often asked about it and people say how important it is. And many people thank us for that. And yesterday during the sit-in often people had the slogan 'They have names, they had dreams'.”

• Another update for the project:
  If all goes well today will be the first day that all banners till now can be seen.
  - At Amsterdam CS this evening
  - At the election debate about Palestine in The Hague. National TV will be present with a film crew there!
  - And also planning to be present at the Red March in Amsterdam on Saturday and i just heard a film crew is also available then to make us a nice compilation to share! ❤️
   
• Also I updated the website with new pictures and stories. 20 of them. I had to cry. 4 of them are family members of Dr Moueen that he lost recently. https://theyhavenames.net/how-to-find/
   
• Three more banners have been designed and are available for printing on the website and will be ordered tonight. The 14th banner will be a bit different as we have 200 names left. We want to show in this banner that this is only the start and many more are murdered by now.
   
• We will now start with designing poster size names & stories.

Feel free to use and / or share any information you find useful on the website.
 

Thanks you all once again for making this possible.

Some other big days for the campaign:

• The website went live! See www.theyhavenames.net
• 9 more banners have been designed and printed. More names, more faces more dreams to remember.
• The banners are now also available from the website in high resolution printable format, so everybody can order one for use (see ’How to find’).
• The banners have already been used in numerous locations and events across the country and we had people asking for orders from France, Germany and Ireland.
• Also our Instagram page went live and is also amazingly followed. Thanks all for that!
• And last but not least: we are receiving more donations. This means more banners to be printed and spread. More people to be remembered. Unfortunately the list keeps growing so we are not done yet ?? There are now also ideas of projecting the banners. Will keep you all posted.
