Demand that the Burmese military end their war in Kachin State

Dear Secretary Kerry,

Congratulations on your recent appointment. We, concerned citizens throughout the world, ask you to play a meaningful role in ending all hostilities in Kachin State and pressure the Burmese military regime and all invested parties to begin genuine peace talks which honor the six-point peace plan agreed to by ethnic minority leaders throughout Burma. Your leadership will play a vital role in ending the bloody violence which has displaced over 100,000 people and has killed hundreds.

The six-point peace plan proposes that the Burmese military government and all ethnic minority groups honor the following:

1) Host a meeting including all civil groups and ethnic armed groups
2) an international community monitored meeting between government and ethnic armed groups
3) referenda in each of the ethnic minority states to ratify any agreements made in dialogues
4) a peace meeting for all ethnic groups
5) tripartite discussions between the government, ethnic groups and democracy activists and
6) implementation of any ratified agreements made.

We call on you to play a role in ensuring the Burma's fledgling democracy has a chance to place itself on solid footing. We care about Burma. Please play a role in supporting its nascent democracy.
