Though the civil war in Myanmar is seldom a leading story in mainstream Western media, the United States’ Christian right is paying close attention. foreignpolicy.com/2026/09/16…
Learn all about the Genocide Determination Bill, a private member’s bill sponsored by Lord Alton of Liverpool in the UK Parliament.

Pt. 1: British taxpayers are unknowingly funding solar panels made with forced labour — installed in schools and hospitals. That’s NOT a just transition.
GB Energy (the UK’s state-owned energy company) is still sourcing solar panels linked to Uyghur forced labour.
I just signed the #NoBusinessWithGenocide petition to Eight Sleep: "A Good Night’s Sleep Shouldn’t Come From Genocide."

Kudos to the Burmese community in Buffalo for their tireless efforts to secure the release of the the Venerable U Pyinya Zawta, 65, whom the #Myanmar military junta had sentenced to 15 years in prison on trumped up charges.

Ashley South makes a powerful case for why the war in #Myanmar is a case of good versus evil - or at least of war criminals versus freedom fighters.

Yesterday, we had a very productive day on the Hill lobbying for bills and appropriations for #Burma (#Myanmar). We met up on the street with Senator Ed Markey (D, MA) @SenMarkey and had the opportunity to thank him for his long-time support for the Burmese people.
Thank you, U.S. Rep. Eugene Vindman (D, VA-07), for stepping up for the people of #Myanmar by co-sponsoring the BRAVE #Burma Act (H.R.3190).
@RepVindman
