Sly is Banned in Burma

Hey Craig,

My name is Brittany Harrison, and I was just browsing around your fan page which is awesome – I’m a huge Sylvester fan, too! What’s awesome that you already know about his involvement in the Burma: It Can’t Wait campaign, as I can see from your postings. I work for a website called Fanista and we’ve just launched the campaign with the US Campaign for Burma and the Human Rights Action Center.

In case you don’t know much about the campaign, Sylvester and other celebrities have graciously done REALLY amazing short film spots for us to speak out against the atrocities enforced by the Burmese military junta (70,000 child soldiers, 2x more villages burned than in Darfur, torture and massacre of monks, systematic rape – and that was before the most recent crime of denying aid to desperate victims of the Myanmar cyclone, resulting in 100,000 deaths). We came up with the idea to get 30 celebrities to be in 30 short films rolling out over the month of May.

Please spread [warning — graphic content!] this video as far and wide as you can. I think this is a great performance by Sylvester.

Thank you so much! Brittany
