What can you do? It's simple: arrest yourself. Here is how it works: you agree to stay home for 24 hours -- as if you were under "house arrest" like Aung San Suu Kyi.

Staying home alone, however, is not enough. During a couple hours of that 24 hour period, you should host a "house arrest" party and invite your friends, family, and colleagues to join you for a couple of hours. There are three things you can do at this house arrest party to make an impact for Aung San Suu Kyi and the people of Burma:

1)

Educate: During the party portion of your house arrest, you can screen a new documentary on Burma that recently aired on PBS to help your guests learn more about the situation in Burma. You can also consider cooking Burmese food -- we will send you a recipe.

2)

Advocate: We will send you draft letters so that your guests can send letters to their members of Congress. This way, U.S. decision-makers will be pressed to work harder for the release of Aung San Suu Kyi.

3)

Raise funds: Aung San Suu Kyi and the people of Burma really need your help. Fundraising is very important to help push the world to take action. That is why we are asking every event to raise between $300 and $1,000 for the campaign to help free Aung San Suu Kyi. The best way to do this is to ask every single person who attends the party portion of your "arrest" to donate between $10 and $100. If you get 15 people to donate $20 each, you will easily reach $300. All donations are tax-deductible.
