August 8 and September 18

[frdc@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Dear Friends of Burma Worldwide:

I would like to use this mailing list to discuss and share 
information about actions that people can take on August 8 and 
September.

August 8 is the anniversary of the 8/8/88 crackdown on pro-democracy 
demonstrators. September 18 the anniversary of the SLORC's 
declaration of martial law.

Both days would be excellent to demonstrate against companies that 
support the SLORC by doing business in Burma.

If people would like to receive boycott action packets, contact:
