LIVE on April 22 @ 1pm GMT: The coup and civil disobedience in Myanmar

Join us on April 22 at 1pm GMT for a Global Voices Insights webinar exploring what's been happening in the country since the coup. 
In conversation with our invited guests and through testimonials from people inside Myanmar, we'll explore what it's like to live under siege by the military—and to resist those forces, especially during a pandemic.

We'll learn more about the civil disobedience movement and how it became a potent weapon against the junta.

And finally, we'll seek to inspire solidarity and offer concrete ways for our readers and the global community to support Myanmar’s democracy movement.
