Crisis in Burma

In This Episode

Tommy talks with New York Times columnist Nick Kristof and Nexus Fund Executive Director Sally Smith about the ongoing ethnic cleansing happening right now in Burma.

 

If you want to pressure Congress to take action to stop the ethnic cleansing in Burma, here’s how to do it.

– If you’re calling a Senator, ask them to support efforts by Senators McCain and Durbin to pressure Burma’s military and stop the slaughter.
