— tapioca world tour

This is a cool idea:

The Burmese American Democratic Alliance (BADA) has set up a website/blog on which you can upload a picture, write a statement of support and sign it with a name or pseudonym. BADA will employ all its contacts to ensure that the website is circulated throughout Burma. Undoubtedly, people in Burma will find avenues to access the net to continue to send news to the international community–despite the SPDC trying to limit it by shutting down the country’s two largest providers. Please tell everyone you can and take a moment to write a personal message of support for the people of Burma. The link is:

Burma Peace Gathering

The Southeast Asian nation of Burma (known as Myanmar by its military rulers) is at a tipping point.

Led by thousands of monks, hundreds of thousands of Burmese citizens are peacefully proclaiming that they’ve had enough: Had enough killing, enough torture, enough poverty, enough fear.

Now the generals of Burma are preparing to crush this peaceful protest, as they did the last time the people dared step out of line, in 1988. As concerned world citizens, we cannot stand idly by again!

Please join us at the New England Peace Pagoda in Leverett, Massachusetts Sunday, Sept 30th to express solidarity with the brave protesters of Burma and pray for peace. We will gather at 2 p.m. for a prayer led by the monks of the Nipponzan Myohoji Sangha. All are welcome.

Representatives of the US Campaign for Burma will be present at the Peace Pagoda from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. We will have petitions to sign and up-to-date information on the crisis in Burma.

For directions to the Peace Pagoda, please visit: www.peacepagoda.org/directions.htm

For further information, please contact Nickie Sekera or Gabriel Flanders.

Thank you,
