DON'T FORGET BURMA CAMPAIGN!!!!

We created this site www.dontforgetburma.org because we wanted a space where everyday people could show that although the media spotlight over Burma may have dimmed, we are still thinking of Burma.

This site is run in coalition with Burma Global Action Network (BGAN) and Burma Campaign UK. The team that runs this site, came together through the "Support the Monks' Protest in Burma " Facebook group (439,000 members).BGAN is a team of activists from around the world that work around the clock on our sites. We are aiming to ensure that the world never forgets the brave protestors that risked their lives on the streets of Burma this year. We work closely with organisations around the world and this site would never had got off the ground without the support of the Burma Campaign UK (BCUK). BGAN and BCUK was also key in initiating the the Global Day of Action for Burma (October 6th 2007) and Aung Sang Suu Kyi day (October 24th 2007). Most campaign groups for Burma are under funded and under resourced, that’s where we come in. We step in and plug campaigns as best as possible through our massive web of supporters. We have broken records in terms of online support for Burma. Now is the time to keep building that support for a free and democratic Burma.

We'd like to thank our launch partners who have helped make this project work they are: Burma Campaign UK, The US Campaign for Burma, Avaaz.org and wearenotafraid.com .

About BurmaBurma is ruled by one of the most brutal military dictatorships in the world; a dictatorship charged by the United Nations with a "crime against humanity" for its systematic abuses of human rights, and condemned internationally for refusing to transfer power to the legally elected Government of the country – the party led by Nobel Peace Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi.

The brutal repression the junta used to put down the 2007 repression shocked the world. But the Burmese people have lived under this sort of repression for decades. The authorities do not hesitate to use force to repress their people, to find out more about what life is like in Burma for ordinary citizens have a look at our Introduction to Burma www.burma-watch.org
