WHAT ABOUT BURMA?! -- A Week of Action featuring one of the *Leaders of the Burmese Democratic Movement, Moethee Zun*

11/22/06

Contributed by Julie Berger

YOUR HELP IS NEEDED NOW! TAKE ACTION THIS WEEK.


3,000+ villages in Eastern Burma have been destroyed, relocated, attacked or mined.

Civilians struggle to survive under a dictatorial regime that has denied them of their basic human rights.

The *UN continues to ignore* pleas of the Burmese people to intervene and stop their repressive government from continued *forced labor, violent attacks on villages, and extermination of political dissidents and ethnic minorities.*


WHAT CAN YOU DO? . . . .


TAKE ACTION THIS WEEK!

* Meet a ~LEADER OF BURMA'S DEMOCRATIC MOVEMENT~

* View Documentary on Burma's plight

* Engage with Burmese Refugees in Panel Discussion

* Interact in a Roundtable Luncheon with Burmese Refugees

* Demonstrate solidarity at the Candlelight Vigil

* Express a need for action by writing letters to the U.N.
