This is undeniably a very 'belated' post but a must nonetheless. This was about 3 weeks ago, organized by US Campaign for Burma in support of the monks' protests in Burma by demanding UN Security Council action.
It was part of a worldwide event; in over 35 countries around the world on that day, people came together to condemn the Burmese military junta's violent suppression of peaceful protesters. We wore the colour Red and some brought flowers - used to create a public display of tribute to those who have sacrificed so much in Burma those past weeks - all of those untold hundreds of thousands who put their lives on the line to bring down the military regime. Many lost their lives, many are imprisoned, and many are in hiding. The Global Day of Action honoured their courage.
On top of that, postcards were distributed to give people the opportunity to pledge their boycott of the Beijing Olympic Games.
