Solidarity with the People of Burma - demo tomorrow

Demonstrate solidarity with the people of Burma, Friday 28 September!

As the military start to move in on the pro-democracy demonstrators in Burma, there has been an unprecedented response across the globe. Our colleagues in the Federation of Trade Unions of Burma and the movement for freedom and democracy need the support of British trade unionists. Demonstrations are taking place every lunchtime outside the Burmese Embassy and the TUC is asking affiliated unions to join the demonstration on Friday from 12-1pm, and to call on the military government to restore democracy and refrain from violence.

Will there be protests next week?

according to Facebook there's a march in London on Sunday.

Thanks Yu_Gi_Oh.
