Every citizen can make a significant contribution to create a wave of support to convince the UNSC to take appropriate action on Burma. Here are some ideas to get you started, and some examples from what other people have done before:

• Learn more about the situation in Burma.

• Write a letter to the UN General Secretary, your President, Prime Minister, and/or your elected representative in Parliament/Congress demanding UNSC action on Burma following the recommendations in the “Threat to Peace” report.

• If you are from a country currently represented at the UNSC, write a letter to your UN Permanent Representative urging that he/she draft a resolution for action in Burma following the recommendations in the “Threat to Peace” report.

• Write a letter to your elected representative urging your government to use its diplomatic weight to work with UNSC members to build support for a resolution on Burma, and to make public statements in support of UNSC action.

• Write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper demanding UNSC action on Burma following the recommendations in the “Threat to Peace” report.

• Become actively involved with organizations that advocate on behalf of Burma’s people.

• Sign petitions demanding UNSC action on Burma following the recommendations in the “Threat to Peace” report.
