TONIGHT 5/18/08: Burma Talk @ Blue Stockings Book Store

BURMA - THE CLOCK IS TICKING!

Informational discussion with Cristina Moon & Karen Zusman
7pm, Sunday May 18, 2008
Bluestockings Bookstore
172 Allen Street between Stanton and Rivington

UN estimates cyclone Nargis death-toll over 100,000 and growing, yet
aid is being confiscated and diverted by the military junta.

How could this happen and what can we do?
Join Burma activists Cristina Moon, exec director of 8808forBurma.org,
and writer Karen Zusman, for conversation/Q&A. Better understand the
mind of the junta, where to donate and how to pressure China to use
influence with Burma's military to accept aid and bring about dialog
between the military, the democracy movement, and ethnic nationalities.
