US Campaign for Burma The US Campaign for Burma (USCB) is an organization based in Washington DC dedicated to ending the military dictatorship in Burma and the mass atrocities in eastern Burma. Through a strong grassroots movement, USCB lobbies both the United States government and the United Nations to support the pro-democracy movement in Burma, led by Nobel Peace Prize Recipient Aung San Suu Kyi. For 45 years, Burma has been ruled by a brutal military dictatorship. In 1988, millions of Burmese took to the streets demanding a transition to democracy. The military dictators responded with brutal force, killing over 3,000 protesters and imprisoning 10,000 more. During the 1988 protests there was little international support for the peaceful demonstrators in Burma. Last September, thousands of Burmese took to the streets again, led by maroon-clad monks. The protests, which came to be known as the "Saffron Revolution," received worldwide attention. During the protests, USCB and its grassroots members organized marches supporting the monks all around the world. In addition, USCB worked in DC and at the UN to make sure that the peaceful protesters were supported by the international community, in stark contrast to 1988. USCB is now looking to build on the momentum of the Saffron Revolution through lobbying the UN and US executive and legislative offices to make freedom in Burma a top US foreign policy initiative. We are looking for strong grassroots members across the US and throughout the world to make this happen.
