"Please use your liberty to promote ours."

We are a small but determined loose-knit group of Burmese exiles and allies from the United States brought together by our shared passion for the Burmese people and our democracy leader, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. We engage in grassroots activism to bring the world’s attention to the desperate human rights situation in Burma, the illegal ongoing incarceration of Aung San Suu Kyi, and the obligation of the rest of the world to take meaningful action to end the tyranny of the Burmese military regime.

We welcome your support.
We need your time, your energy, your caring.
We are always looking to collaborate with other Burmese activist groups.

Video: Rosanna Arquette Tells World About Burma's War On Civilians

Hollywood Actress Rosanna Arquette Exposes
Burmese Regime's War On Civilians: Tell the World


Dear Friends,

Today is the 15th day of videos we have released about the situation in Burma.  Starring actress Rosanna Arquette, today's video addresses a deadly serious issue -- the Burmese military regime's war on civilians in eastern Burma.
 
Over the past 12 years, Burma's military regime has destroyed 3,200 villages in eastern Burma -- mostly near the Thailand-Burma border.  The regime has burned down many of the villages, destroying medical clinics, schools, food supplies, and rice fields.  At least 1.5 million Burmese have fled as refugees and internally displaced.  The regime uses rape as a weapon of war against the women in these areas, and  tortured to death many innocent villagers.
 
The Associated Press and others have compared the military regime's attacks on civilians to the genocide in Darfur.
 
In other similar situations around the world -- there are only a few on this scale -- the United Nations Security Council has mostly dispatched peacekeepers to protect civilian populations.
 
Yet, because of China's veto power at the UN Security Council, there is not one single United Nations peacekeeper in eastern Burma to protect the civilians.  Not even one.
 
We are building a powerful international campaign to help stop the regime's attacks on civilians.
