To all the peace and freedom loving people of San Francisco Bay Area
Peace for Burma Protest, March and Prayer Vigil
Come march for peace and freedom!!!

Outraged by the brutal crackdowns and killings of monks and peaceful people of Burma, please join/help organized the Peace for Burma Protest, March and Prayer Vigil on Friday, October 5 from 2 pm to 6 pm in San Francisco. Together, let's recreate in the streets of San Francisco what we have seen in Burma -- Monks and lay persons marching peacefully holding Sassana flags and reciting Metta Sutta. To get involve call Nyunt Than 510 220 1323 or email nyuntthan@gmail.com.

Friday October 5, 2007; 2 pm - 8 pm
Rally and meditation at Chinese Consulate, 1450 Laguna Street  (2 pm - 5 pm)
Peace March to United Nations Plaza, Market Street Between 7th & 8th (5 pm - 5:40 pm)
Multi-religion Prayer Vigil at United Nations Plaza (6:00 pm - 8:00 pm)
(All actions are in San Francisco)

Hundreds of thousands of peaceful people led by Buddhist Monks cry out for an end to a longstanding military dictatorship. Holding Sassana flags and reciting prayers of love on the street is a crime in Burma punishable by beating and death. Monasteries were raided at night, residences vandalized, over 700 hundred arrested, many monks disrobed, beaten, humiliated, tortured, and killed. The people of Burma have been silenced through military control, but they have not stopped their protest. Many people are still taking to the streets, but beaten, shot and killed. Come do the protest meditation to urge China, Burmese military’s biggest supporter, to step in and help resolve the situation peacefully.
