Hi there,

The media can be the greatest force for peace on Earth. Instead, all too often, it’s wielded as a weapon of war. That's why we have to take the media back. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. With your contribution, we can continue to go to where the silence is, to bring you the voices of the silenced majority – those calling for peace in a time of war, demanding action on the climate catastrophe and advocating for racial and economic justice. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

The Burmese students staged a small scale brief protest in the capital city in which they played hide and seek with the military. With the crackdown in Burma, we will talk to Aung San Suu Kyi the head of the National League for Democracy believed to be the rightful president of Burma and also a Noble peace prize winner. She talks about the changes of the last few weeks. She also talks in support of the student demonstrations and the arrested members of the NLD in the past few weeks.
