There is a campaign going on to try to get people to wear red on Friday in support of the pro-democracy demonstrators, led by Buddhist monks, in Burma (now called Myanmar by the ruling military junta). There have been 9 confirmed protesters killed by the military, but the number is probably higher. As well, hundreds of monks have been arrested and their monasteries ransacked in raids by the military. However, the protests continue.

I'll be wearing red, though I wonder how much traction this movement has generated. Thanks,
