Stand with the Burmese protestors

Sign a petition calling on China and the UN security council to step in and pressure Burma's rulers to stop the killing.

Take action and sign the Avaaz petition:

Burma is ruled by one of the worst military dictatorships in the world. Last week Buddhist monks and nuns began marching and chanting prayers to call for democracy. The protests spread and hundreds of thousands of Burmese people joined in -- they've been brutally attacked by the military regime, but still the protests are spreading.

When the Burmese last marched in 1988, the military massacred thousands. If the world stands up and supports their struggle, this time they could win.

We're in a race against time-- targeting the dictatorship's main backer China in a global advertising campaign, delivering the petition to the UN secretary-general and sending the Burmese our support via radio.

Sign the online petition here.

Other ways to take action:

 

1 - Tell your friends and family to support the monks by signing the Avaaz petition.
2 - Protest – worldwide details on the Avaaz website.
3 - Write to your elected official - they will respond if enough people contact them.
4 - Email the companies that still operate in Burma, their email addresses are listed here.
