Every day in the month of May a new celebrity is posting a video for the Burma: It Can’t Wait Campaign. They want 1 million signatures by the end of the month. So far, they have 38,653 and counting. Today’s video features actress Julie Benz. Previous videos have included messages from Will Ferrel, Jenifer Aniston with Woody Harrelson, Jason Biggs, & Jenny Mollen, and Sarah Silverman:

The people of the Southeast Asian country of Burma are locked in one of the world’s great freedom struggles. The country’s military rulers, the State Peace and Development Council, have run the country with an iron fist for the past 19 years, after they assumed power from a 26-year socialist dictatorship. In 1988, students, professionals, and others launched a nationwide uprising aimed at bringing an end to authoritarian rule during which millions of people courageously marched on the streets, calling for freedom and democracy.
The military responded by gunning down thousands of demonstrators and imprisoning thousands more in one of Southeast Asia’s most bloody episodes in recent history. The leader of the demonstrations, Min Ko Naing (pronounced Min Ko Nine), has been held behind bars ever since, where approximately 1,400 political prisoners remain. The most recognizable face of Burma, 1991 Nobel Peace Prize recipient Aung San Suu Kyi (pronounced Aung Sawn Sue Chee), has been in and out of house arrest and prison since 1988. Presently, she is held under house arrest.
