“Burma: It Can’t Wait” Campaign Receives Recognition

Posted November 5th, 2008 by Kristin

DIG’s “Burma: It Can’t Wait” campaign, developed in collaboration with Fanista and the U.S. Campaign for Burma, is a finalist in the 2008 Forrester Groundswell Awards’ Social Impact category.

DIG felt honored to work on a campaign that sought to draw attention to the plight of the Burmese people for human rights, freedom and peace. During each day in May, a different video appeared with celebrities urging viewers to sign an online petition, share the site with their friends and take action to improve the dire political situation in Burma. Celebrity voices included Will Ferrell, Ellen Page, Anjelica Huston, Jennifer Aniston, Judd Apatow, Julie Benz, and many more.

We hope that this recognition by the Forrester Groundswell Awards continues to draw attention to the situation in Burma. While our initial 30 day campaign for a million voices has ended, the need for advocacy, education and action continues. Visit uscampaignforburma.org to see how you can help make a difference.
