The brutal suppression of the people of Burma continues. The generals are counting on the world getting bored and turning away.
Danny Fisher reminds us of three ways we can help.
Amnesty International is continuing to provide urgent actions and information at their “Library” page on Myanmar. They update very regularly. Keep yourself abreast of what’s happening and take part in Amnesty’s urgent actions there.
Avaaz.org is currently raising funds for technical support and equipment that Burmese citizen groups can use to help break through the information blackout imposed by the junta. (For those who don’t know, with the military regime’s crackdown on the demonstrations came the turning off of all communication with the outside world.) If you can, please donate now.
The U.S. Campaign for Burma is encouraging concerned Americans to take part in the upcoming CNN/YouTube Republican Presidential Candidates’ Debate by submitting a video question about Myanmar for the candidates.
