Hundreds of people are getting busy hosting Arrest Yourself parties across the US. Last weekend, an Arrest Yourself party hosted by one of our supporters, Alix Clarke, made headlines. Check it out: "Islander 'arrests' herself in solidarity with Burma's imprisoned leader".; Now we need to multiply the impact Alix has made.

As you may already know, the military regime has embarked on a sham election process that undermines democracy and gives the junta a fake veneer of legitimacy. The regime has been clinging onto power with all its might for over two decades at the expense of freedom, blood, sweat, and tears of the people of Burma. What we do for Burma, at this critical time, will be a litmus test of our attitude towards freedom, democracy, and human rights.
Malcolm X once said, "Power in defense of freedom is greater than the power in defense of tyranny and oppression." At this year's Arrest Yourself events, this is the message we will send to the regime in Naypyidaw. Pledge to host an Arrest Yourself event in tribute to Aung San Suu Kyi and the people of Burma for inspiring us with their courage and determination.
Power to the people of Burma! Do-ay-ye! Do-ay-ye! It is our rights, our cause!
