The crisis in Myanmar is growing, and we need your voice today to help get international aid to the Burmese people.

In the aftermath of cyclone Nargis, it is believed that up to 100,000 people in Myanmar have been killed, and at least 1.5 million people "severely affected" or left homeless. The United Nations has landed an aid plane in Myanmar, bringing food and equipment to some of the country's population, but the military junta continues to resist offers of large-scale help by blocking most international aid.

We can't stand by and watch more people die because their government refuses to act.

I signed a petition on the Care2 petition site to urge the Embassies of Myanmar to do everything in their power to allow international aid to reach the Burmese people immediately.

Please sign too and tell others to do the same. We need to deliver as many signatures as we can quickly to make sure Myanmar's Embassies process visas for aid workers immediately and do everything in their power to make sure aid gets through to the Burmese people who desperately need it.

Here is the link to the Care2 petition site (you might need to copy and paste):
