DESCRIPTION:UNION SQUARE, SF\n6pm-8pm\n\nCandlelight vigil to commemorate the peaceful 
 and heroic protests in Burma last September, which came to be known as the 
 Saffron Revolution. \n\nJoin us in honoring the bravery and resilience of 
 Burma's monks and citizens. \n\nOn the one year anniversary of the Saffron 
 Revolution, we appeal to the UN and the international community to take 
 swift and effective measures to stop injustice, and establish Burmese 
 democracy and rule of law.\n\nBACKGROUND:\n\nOne year ago, hundreds of 
 thousands of people, led by Buddhist monks, took to the streets of Burma to 
 peacefully cry out for an end to the long-standing military dictatorship. 
 Their bravery was met with extreme brutality. Thousands were imprisoned; 
 many monks were disrobed, beaten, humiliated, tortured, and killed. 
 \n\nDespite countless military crackdowns over the past 20 years, the 
 struggle for freedom in Burma continues. \n\nSTAND WITH THE PEOPLE OF 
 BURMA\n\nContact/more info: www.badasf.org; 510-485-2751;
