I've been keeping track of the latest developments concerning human rights abuses in Myanmar. Almost every site I come across includes this tagline:
"please use your liberty to promote ours"
-Aung San Suu Kyi
Aung San Suu Kyi is a Noble Peace Prize recipient who has been under house arrest since 1989. She is the rightful prime minister of Myanmar after winning the general election (while under house arrest) with 82% of the vote. But the military junta ignored the results and continue to repress the Myanmar people today.
Even if you can't do anything, at least be aware of what is happening.
