Dear friends,

 The worst is happening - over the last few days,

Burma 's generals have unleashed terror on the peaceful monks and

 protesters shooting and beating many to death, and taking others away 

 to torture chambers where at this moment they must be enduring the

  unbearable.

We can stop this horror. Burma's powerful 

  sponsor China can halt the killing, if it believes that its

 international reputation and the  2008 Olympics
 in Beijing depend on

 it. To convince the Chinese government, Avaaz is launching a major global  

 and Asian ad campaign on Tuesday that will deliver our message and the

   number of signers. Our petition has exploded to over 200,000 signers

 in just 72 hours, but we
 need 1 million voices to be the global roar 

 that will get China's attention. If every one of us forwards 

 this email to just 20 friends, we'll reach our target in the next 72

   hours. Please sign the petition at the link below -if you

 haven't already- and forward this email to everyone you care 

 about:

   http://www.avaaz.org/en/stand_with_burma/q.php?cl=21180845">  http://www.avaaz.org/en/stand_with_burma/q.php

The petition will also be delivered to the UN 

 Secretary-General, and we will broadcast the news of our effort over radio to Burma's

 people, telling them not to lose hope, that the world is with

  them. The Burmese people are showing incredible courage in the

 face of horror. The fate of many brave and good people is in our hands, 

 we must help them – and we have hours, not days, to do

  it. Please sign the petition and forward this email to at least 20

  friends right now.

 With hope and determination,

Ricken, Paul, Pascal, Graziela, Galit, Ben, Milena and the

  whole Avaaz Team 

PS – if you would like to join in the massive wave of 

 demonstrations happening around the world at Burmese and Chinese embassies,

  scroll down our petition page for details of times and events.
