American Baptists and friends are invited to participate in a signature campaign promoted by the Burma Advocacy Group, a coalition convened by the American Baptist Churches Burma Refugee Commission.
The Goal of the Campaign is to gather and submit as many signatures as possible to our US Senators and Representatives to request them to pass the (revised) Burma Bill that is under consideration. The signature campaign will run through March 31, 2022. Take action HERE.
The Burma Advocacy Group believes the Burma Bill is our greatest opportunity to achieve:
- an end to the human tragedy and crimes against humanity in Burma,
- an end the brutal military dictatorship in Burma, and
- an opportunity to achieve a federal democracy in Burma for which the people of Burma have been giving their
lives.
Please promote the Signature Campaign in your congregation as well as with other churches and community groups who might participate to help pass the Burma Bill.
View a letter containing promotional materials for sharing and details of how to gather signatures.
