More things YOU can do.

Sign the petition at http://www.avaaz.org/en/stand_with_burma/. Below the petition is an enormous list of events taking place internationally, many of them this weekend.

In London, you have a veritable choice of protests to join. The demonstration outside the Burmese Embassy continues every day from 12-1pm, and is supported by Amnesty International and the TUC. Apparently there were 300 people outside the Embassy on 27th, and they then marched through central London to the Chinese Embassy.

Embassy of the Union of Myanmar
19 A CHARLES STREET
LONDON W1J 5DX
Nearest tube: Green Park

Burma Campaign UK are holding a 24 hour permanent Vigil at Parliament Square, opposite the House of Commons in London.
Nearest tube: Westminster

There is a third protest outside the Foreign Office on Whitehall. This is where most Burmese people are protesting, since the protest at the Embassy is being filmed. I myself don't particularly care about that, because I won't be going to Burma until there is a change in government, but it is an issue for people who need to get home.

There will also be a protest march on Sunday 30th September. Participants are asked to meet at Trafalgar Square at 11.30am for a 12 noon start. More details are on Facebook, but you can't view that page unless you have a Facebook account. I'd appreciate it if someone who's signed up for Facebook could copy & paste all the details for me.
