On- Going Campaigns

  

Every year CFOB selects a number of programming areas to focus our campaign efforts on (See Current Activism). CFOB's Board of Directors, decides on an annual programming agenda based on the latest political situation in Burma, as well as current trends in the international pro-democracy movement for Burma.

However, there are many campaigns that carry on from the previous year which are of great importance, but due to limited resources and personnel we must maintain them as secondary campaigns. For more information, please contact CFOB

Consumer Boycotts

In the past CFOB has been highly sucessful with Consumer boycotts. In the last two yearsm, CFOB has convinced several Canadian retailers to no longer purcahse clothes from Burma. CFOb continues to encourage Canadian to not purchase retail items from Burma and to write companies that are selling goods from Burma.(See Corporate Complicity for a complete list of Canadian retailers linked to Burma.

Consumer boycotts have proven to be an effective means of limiting financial support for the regime and sending a message to the international community that it is unacceptable to do business with Burma until it has become democratic. From Vancouver to St. Johns-Canadians show their support for Burma

Student Solidarity Network

CFOB will continue to work with student activist group on university campuses, to help raise awareness to the situation in Burma.
