Introducing Belizeans Justice Movement

This morning at the Belize Institute of Management’s conference room, a new grassroots movement made up of fourteen standard bearers from across the country was introduced to Belizean voters. The group, called the Belizeans Justice Movement, is led by Orange Walk resident Friday Pfizer. During a press conference, Pfizer shared the story behind the movement, emphasizing that they don’t see themselves as a third party, even though they’re stepping into the political arena ahead of the next general elections.

“It came about roughly since 2016.  2016, I decided to tour the entire country because knowledge is power.  You need to know so that you can express and you can let people know what it is that is needed, and what I gathered from everybody, every district, every village has their own little problem, but everybody cries for one thing, social justice.  That is what is needed and I did it because simply, I just want to know my country.  I want to know my people, and when you know someone you get to find out what their needs are, and if you can help in any kind of way, personally I can’t, but with a group of men and women who are not politicians, who are servicemen and women, we can make the change.

“I was raised in the country of Belize, so I consider myself as a Belizean.  So I have a lot of friends and friends and family throughout the country, so they do know who I am.  I stick to my principle and I stick to what I believe in for our country.  What I believe in this country is that we are lacking in a lot of things.  And therefore, I was introduced to this group, hearing their mission, hearing their vision and all of that, and it’s in line with what I want to see the country to progress.  I am from Corozal District, I’ve been helping with my community there, especially with the homeless.  They understand me and I help them out; not only for the homeless, but also for the less fortunate people.”
