Take Action!

No Way, No Shwe!!

^{Press Conference in Dhaka, Bangladesh, January 13, 2005}

Don't Underestimate your voice! We believe that if we all join hands, we can make a difference to the people and the environment that are threatened by the Shwe project. Join us!

Despite living under the Burma regime’s control, the Shwe Gas Movement has secretly collected and disseminated information about the project in Burma, including putting up posters in several Arakanese towns.

Internationally, the Shwe Gas Movement and its solidarity networks have implemented conferences, seminars and meetings in India, South Korea, Thailand and Bangladesh. The Shwe issues have also been conveyed through other Burma fora as well as other gatherings of human rights and environment activists.

To date, four Global Days of Action against the Shwe project have been held. With your help and solidarity on six continents, 46 demonstrations have taken place at South Korean and Indian Embassies/consulates as well as Daewoo International offices.

Boycott/Divestment Campaigns: Many companies are investing in Burma. Just as boycott and divestment campaigns were effective in helping end South African apartheid, so too can similar campaigns help the oppressed people of Burma. Whether you help persuade your university, your company, or family members to divest and/or stop using blacklisted products, here is a list of companies you should stay away from--and a very effective way to help stop disastrous Shwe project from reaching completion.
Letter Writing Campaign: Write a letter to the companies and governments involved. Tell the United Nations, the European Union or the United States to take a more forceful stand against the Burmese junta. Here you'll find addresses and other information to get you started speaking truth to power.
Volunteer: Join the SHWE Gas Movement. The most important thing you can do is help spread the word about our campaign!
