Please support democracy in Burma!

Another call from Avaaz.org:

After decades of military dictatorship, the people of Burma are rising – and they need our help. Marches begun by monks and nuns are snowballing: today 100,000 have taken to the streets of Rangoon.

When the Burmese last marched in 1988, the military massacred thousands. But if the world stands up for the protesters, this time it could be different. We will be sending our petition to United Nations Security Council members (including the dictatorship’s main backer China) and to media at the UN, while also alerting the marchers to our support: http://www.avaaz.org/en/stand_with_burma/
