Human Rights Action Center

Mission

Our mission is to build a broad based coalition of grassroots and institutional support for freedom in Burma. The U.S. Campaign for Burma does this primarily in three ways:
 

1) strengthen the position of the rightful leaders of Burma, 1991 Nobel Peace Prize recipient Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and the democratically elected National League for Democracy, by cutting the political and economic lifelines of the ruling military junta;

2) organize and advocate for the establishment of UN Security Council Commission of Inquiry into war crimes and crimes against humanity in Burma; and

3) inform and work with our grassroots citizens, our global partners and the US policy-makers about Burma’s political, social and economic crisis.

The U.S. Campaign for Burma is based in Washington, DC. We are a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization. All donations to our organization are tax-deductible. The organization is comprised of paying members, though fees can be waived upon request for those who cannot afford to pay. There are nine members of the board of directors–four are appointed and five are elected annually by the membership.
