From Avaaz

The demonstrations in Egypt could end three decades of repressive rule and bring, at long last, freedom and democracy to Egypt.

The regime is attempting to starve the protest movement of two crucial sources of power: information and solidarity. But despite the internet blackout, Egyptian radios and satellite TVs can still receive broadcasts from across the border — so Avaaz will work with broadcasters whose signals reach inside Egypt to circulate the number signatures on this statement of solidarity, along with messages of support from around the world for Egypt’s people.

Every hour matters. What happens next depends of all of us. Let’s stand with those on the streets and build a deafening outcry against rampant corruption and political repression, and for democratic reform. Sign the statement of solidarity HERE and spread the word about this campaign!





STATEMENT:

We stand with the people of Egypt in their demand for freedom and basic rights, an end to the crackdown and internet blackout, and immediate democratic reform. We call on our governments to join us in our solidarity with the Egyptian people.

    hope that egypt does not trade one form of tyranny for another, as the iranian people did. a yoke of oppression is what it is, be it cloaked by military power or fundamentalist religious views

    Are you out of your mind. The vast majority of the protestors are aligned with the Jihad and Al Qaida Muslim fundamentalists movenments. They are anti American, and want to stand with Iran in wiping out Israel. Those are not people I am going to stand with. Instead of being so willing to follow any protest movement, you should take a look at what the protest indeed is. Take a look at what these supposed oppressed people have done to the priceles antiquities of their own country. If this is what they will do to non living artifacts to show their rage, imagine what they will try to do with their living enemies. I invite you to defend the calling of the support on these protestors.
