Join the US Campaign for Burma's Call to Pressure the Chinese Government

The US Campaign for Burma (USCB) has launched a worldwide effort to pressure the Chinese government into stopping its support of the military dictatorship in Burma.

USCB is asking people to boycott the Olympics by not watching any of the Games events on TV unless the Chinese government fulfills the following conditions:
1. Stop blocking the UN arms embargo on Burma and stop selling weapons to the Burmese regime.
2. End its support for the Burmese regime.

Aug. 8, the first day of the Olympics, also marks the 20th anniversary of the popular uprising against the Burmese Junta, which was brutally repressed by the military dictators.

If China does not change its Burma policy, USCB urges you to do the the following:
1. Not watch the Olympics, especially the opening ad closing ceremonies.
2. Not purchasing Olympics souvenirs or merchandise.
3. Not purchasing merchandise from Olympic sponsors, a list of which can be found here.

USCB also offers you the opportunity to write to Olympic sponsors to urge them to use their influence over the Chinese government to change its Burma policy.

You can ask your friends and family to join the protest here.
