The U.S. Campaign for Burma would like to invite you to its annual National Organizing Meeting which will be held on April 2 & 3, 2011 at George Washington University in Washington, DC.
The purpose of this meeting is to raise awareness about Burma's ongoing human rights abuses in Burma, to implement a post election strategy, and to educate and empower activists and supporters of Burma's pro-democracy movement to speak out and to take a stand.
We would like everyone who is, or would like to be, active in Burma issues to gather in Washington DC to learn how to build a stronger movement for democracy and human rights in Burma.
At the National Organizing Meeting you will:

* Hear and engage with leading human rights practitioners, policy makers and scholars.
* The screening of a brand new documentary, "The Burma Soldier", directed by Nic Dunlop.
* Learn about campaign and lobbying strategies.

...and more.
