Join a Demonstration near You

Free Burma activists around the world are organizing global action to respond to the attacks on innocent civilians in eastern Burma perpetrated by the ruling military junta.  The attacks -- the largest in ten years -- have resulted in 15,500 persons being driven from their homes.

The United Nations Security Council, responsible for maintaining international peace and security, has avoided its clear responsibility to end these attacks. We are organizing protests in front of embassies of the Burmese military junta and governmental buildings around the world to demand immediate UN Security Council action.

A request, already endorsed by Karen, Kachin, Chin, Shan, Arakan, Rohingya ethnic organizations and Burmese pro-democracy groups worldwide, for an immediate stop on all atrocities in ethnic areas of Burma will be delivered to regime embassies around the world. It will also later be sent to United Nations Security Council. You can sign the request here (click).

We need your help, and we need it now. Please join a demonstration near you on May 16.
