Standing with the people of Burma
 
Protesters in Burma have continued to publicly show
their opposition to a brutal military dictatorship in
spite of the brutal reprisals from the generals.  The
latest reports out of Rangoon are that several
thousand monks and other protesters have been detained
and dozens shot in the streets.   Please show your
solidarity.
