Right, I was on my way to do some much needed retail therapy when I decided to stop by the Civic Square and join in the Free Burma Vigil. I wasn't going to go but it was on the way to Lambton Quay and I thought, why not, you may be a lil late but show your support anyway.
They had speakers from the Burmese community speak as well as political activists and it was good to see people uniting for a common cause to make a statement. We had a moment of silence for those in Burma and a man from the Burmese community said a prayer.
This vigil was one of the many events happening around the world today as part of the Global Day of action for a free Burma.
As I left the square at the end of the vigil I was handed a flier for another rally of some sort. One for Stand up against poverty on the 17th of October. Hopefully I'll be able to go to that one too.
