There are many ways to help the Revolution in Myanmar. One is obviously focusing on the humanitarian need. But we should not forget those who are fighting to protect the people from the military regime. Even if we can’t actually join the Resistance fighters, we can actually help them in the battle fields by helping those who encourage and help regime soldiers defect. It’s the best way to reduce violence, save lives and improve our chances to win the Revolution! People’s Soldiers, the organization helping regime soldiers defect, says it needs around 15,000 USD.
