The Associated Press: "Obama has renewed sanctions against the junta that runs the Southeast Asian country of Myanmar."

Its a victory, but we still need to act faster. The more time we waste the more lives are lost from preventable conditions.

Here is how we can help:

1. Urge your Senator to co-sponsor the renewal of the Burmese Freedom and Democracy Act

2. Participate in “Arrest Yourself” 2009 in Solidarity with Aung San Suu Kyi

3. Make a donation in honor of Aung San Suu Kyi’s 64th birthday, which was on June 19th, 2009

4. Become a Member of the U.S. Campaign for Burma

5. Secret-Shop for Burmese Blood Rubies

6. Fundraise for USCB’s Human Rights Advocacy

7. Join your Local Burma Chapter, or if There Isn’t One Start Your Own
