Tell Congress: fund the democracy movement in Myanmar

Tell Congress to fully fund the democracy movement in Myanmar

As Congress prepares the Fiscal Year 2024 Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs appropriations budget, we are urging that Congress appropriate $200 million for Burma related programs and activities.

Last year, Congress appropriated $136.13 million for assistance for Burma. Increasing this funding is necessary to implement the BURMA Act, while continuing essential assistance in the face of the ongoing political and humanitarian crisis in Burma.

The people of Burma continue to struggle in the aftermath of the Burmese military’s February 2021 coup. The United States must provide the funding required to support pro-democracy stakeholders in Burma, isolate the Burmese military diplomatically and economically, and push for a peaceful end to the crisis and facilitate a pathway to democracy for its people.

Take action today to tell your Members of Congress to urge the House and Senate Subcommittees on State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs to fully fund Burma related programs.
