FRIDAY: National Day of Student Action for Burma
The U.S. Campaign for Burma is organizing a day of action for this Friday. Here's the description:
We are asking every student in the country to organize their campus this Friday, October 5th in support of the people of Burma!
Wear a red shirt, organize speakers, booths with information, concerts- whatever you want this Friday to show support for the half a million peaceful protesters in Burma (Myanmar), a country in Southeast Asia ruled by a ruthless military regime. Burma’s monks, who wear red and maroon colored robes, have led the protests this past week.
Friday Open Thread
Greetings from Sausalito. I'm going to forego the standard Friday Week in Revue because I just got in from 4 days of continuous motoring on the Pacific Ocean and I'm not quite... with it... yet.
However, I *have* been following the news via satellite radio (BBC World Service + Sirius = happy) and would like to pose the following question:
What would it take for protests the likes of those in Myanmar/Burma to happen here?
