YOU'RE INVITED! Saturday June 19th Daw Aung San Suu Kyi's Birthday 1-3 pm Rally in front of the White House 4-7pm Cultural Performances at Calvary Baptist Church Dear Daniel, On June 19th, the Lady is turning 65! This year, U.S. Campaign for Burma and the Burmese community are coming together for a large rally and celebration of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi's birthday. Show your support for Aung San Suu Kyi who is fighting for freedom and democracy in Burma. Bring friends and family to this exciting celebration! The event will also feature traditional Burman, Karen, and Chin dances- a display of unity by Burma's diverse ethnic groups. There are already confirmed supporters driving in from North Carolina, New York, and West Virginia. Will you join us? A huge turnout on June 19th will send a strong message to President Obama that the U.S. must give more than lip service to end the repressive rule and the system of impunity in Burma. We will rally loud and clear for the U.S. government to support a UN-led Commission of Inquiry into war crimes and crimes against humanity, and bring justice to the country.  Let Than Shwe and his military cronies know that we will not be fooled by their sham elections. Aung San Suu Kyi is the still the true leader of Burma. The rally will be held at Lafayette Park, in front of the White House, 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., NW, Washington, DC, 20006, 1pm-3pm. The performance will be held at Calvary Baptist Church,  755 8th Street, NW, Washington, DC, 20001, 4-7pm.
