U.S. Campaign for Burma

The United States Campaign for Burma (USCB) is a U.S. based organization dedicated to empowering grassroots activists around the world to rally for human rights and to bring an end to the military dictatorship in Burma. Their mission is to build a broad based coalition of grassroots and institutional support for freedom in Burma. 

 

Their work has three primary objectives:

  1. Strengthen the position of rightful leaders of Burma, including 1991 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and the democratically elected National League for Democracy, and ethnic leaders.
  2. Organize and advocate for international action to address the military regime’s war crimes and crimes against humanity in Burma by calling for the establishment of UN Commission of Inquiry to investigate these international crimes in the country.
  3. Inform and work with our grassroots citizens, global partners, and U.S. policy makers about Burma’s political, social, and economic crises.

Our partnership

In October 2009 Lovemine organized the “Ignite Project,” during which student organizations around the country held events on their campuses, tuned in to a live simulcast, and wrote letters to their Senators in support of a United Nations Commission of Inquiry into Crimes in Burma. These letters were then personally taken to the Senators’ offices.  Thanks to these letters, along with continued pressure from US Campaign for Burma and its members, the Senate sent a letter to Secretary of State Hilary Clinton calling for the US to announce its support of this Commission of Inquiry. On August 18, 2010 President Obama announced his administration’s public support of the establishment of this very important UN investigation.
