Nyunt Than -- Burmese refugee, activist, and President of the Burmese American Democratic Alliance (BADA) -- will update the current situation from his sources on the ground in Burma in the wake of the cyclone which has claimed at least 125,000 (feared up to 200,000) lives and, 2.5 million survivors are in immediate need of food, water and shelter. However, paranoid by losing the control of the country, Burma's brutal military regime refuses to accept massive aid delivery to the victims. BADA's mission is to bring democracy to the people of Burma who are in a constant struggle with one of the world's most repressive regimes. BADA organizes and coordinates nonviolent activities to achieve the establishment of a democratic process in Burma. Amid this massive devastation in Burma, BADA is stepping up and launching grassroots Cyclone Relief efforts in the Bay Area to help Burma's cyclone victims.
