What you can do on April 9th for Burma ( For trainings, see item #6 & #7 )

  1. Please motivate people around you. Tell them to give April 9 to Burma and do something.  Forward this message; call or speak  in person and explain why he or she should do something. Outreach to Collagues, high schools, religious schools, churches, monasteries, community groups and centers. Any little effort counts.
     
  2. Sing up for actions here: http://www.badasf.org/2008/event-sign-up.htm to attend, participate, help organized the Burma related actions on April 9. Make sure, you check back this page for updated actions as the city has not released the torch route.
     
  3. Make signs and hold them along the torch routes; State any messages that you are comfortable with:  Free Burma; Free Aung San Suu Kyi; China’s Gain, Burma’s Pain; China’s Policies, Burma’s Misery; Burma’s Blood on China’s Hands; Free Burma, Shame on China; No Genocide Torch; Boycott Olympic. And make sure to put images that highlight the suffering of our people.
     
  4. We are flying an air plane to tow a "Free Burma" billboard. Other groups have put up billboards in the city and also flying like us and they are even relaying their torches around the world in parallel with Beijing torch.  But we will do what we can for Burma even though the flight will cost us nearly $ 3000 for 3 hours. We are also making signs, banners, posters, scarfs, buttons, cloths and many items. So the cost is exceeding our resources and need your help.
     
  5.  To help us, please donate here online at www.badasf.org. Also solicit donations from your neighborhood stores, shops and groups. Your donation will be used only for all April 9 Burma related actions. Any amount counts.
