      • We work to keep civic participation safe and sound for Myanmar’s democracy.

        The coup has halted Myanmar’s journey to democracy. It threatened democratic institutions and practices for all people. Active citizens and communities face challenges to secure their rights and freedom after the coup. Only their continuous participation will save them and their democracy’s future.
