About 30 Hollywood celebrities (including Jorja) will kick off a campaign Thursday to seek the release of Myanmar's democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi and push for freedom in the military-ruled nation.

Edit: You can see the Day 1 video (or rather the promo video, so maybe that's day zero?) here. And if you can't see that, I have screengrabs. All she says is "I am Aung San Suu Kyi." It's an "I am Spartacus" thing.
She certainly keeping busy
When you get to the site, the first video is gonna play with Will Ferral. To see Jorja, you have to click on the third picture down on te right hand side. It's Aung's face. That's the promo one. And Eric Szmanda and Wally Langham are in it too!!
They seem to be changing that site daily for the 30-days, so I suspect directions will change again. Whee!
Hi guys and gals,
My name is Natalie and I'm helping promote the Burma campaign here at Fanista - just wanted to let you guys know that Jorja's spot is FANTASTIC (it is her and Eric, playing a card game called "Forced Labor") and right now is slated to go up on the 11th, although that may change - I'll keep you updated!
In the meantime, I wasn't sure if you guys knew that as a part of this campaign, Fanista is donating 10% of the proceeds from every purchase people make when they sign up and select "Burma" as what referred you. So you can support the cause just by buying the CSI dvd's you were going to buy elsewhere... it's a new socially-focused business model and I'm curious to hear your thoughts. You can email us questions at anytime at burma@fanista.com . Anyway I can't wait for you guys to see Jorja's spot regardless - and thanks for helping spread the word about the campaign!
Natalie, thanks for mentioning that! I was typing up my info for here right before bedtime, so naturally I gave it way too fast a look over.
It's too bad all this stuff starting coming out right after I started the poll for birthday causes! At least animal acres snuck in.
Yup, she's getting into activism more and more these days... nothing wrong with that. I also recognized (aside from the three CSI stars) Eddie Izzard and Rosanna Arquette in that video.
Hi guys,
Just wanted to let you know that we moved up the Jorja / Eric video and it will now be going live at midnight tonight EST at http://www.burmaitcantwait.org - hope you guys like it and let me know if you have any questions! Mika, I'll email you the embded code as soon as I have it.
Natalie
Yippie! I'll schedule the post on it for 12:30 EST
Guess I'll stay up tonight for it
