call for a Free Tibet action

topic posted Thu, January 5, 2006 - 6:33 PM by  Peter
Dear friends,

It's time to rise up and help to end the occupation of Tibet.

Help to save the vanishing Tibetan people and culture.

Today's global communications made possible for us to be heard from many people around the world. We can reach others who can help to free Tibet - Chinese government officials, local government officials responsible for Chinese relations, the United Nations and other international organizations, activists around the world - with just sending an email.

Be aware of any China-related events in your area and take action. Show the people in your community that China is not a free and democratic country, as the Chinese government is trying to show us, but a Nazi dictatorship conducting a genocide in Tibet.

Go to the local Chinese embassy or consulate and tell the Chinese officials to end the occupation in Tibet. Use any possible event, with non-violent action, to show that China is not welcome anywhere until Tibet is free.

Boycott "made in China" products. Don't buy anything that has been made in China. Chinese economy depends heavily on foreign markets. You can help your local economy by buying products made in your country. As you do so, others will follow you and soon enough it will become a massive movement.

Become a Free Tibet activist. Educate yourself, your friends, and the people in your community about the true situation in Tibet. Read news from Tibet, available in the internet, and inform local media. Organize movie screenings, put out posters and flyers, raise awareness by any non-violent means about the struggle of the Tibetan people.

For those of you who can travel the world: the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008 are the perfect occasion for action. The whole world will be watching China and we can show them what is really going on in Tibet and China.

Be creative and use any non-violent means to raise awareness and pressure the Chinese government to free Tibet.

    Thank you Peter for this very important message. Tibet is being destroyed, as well as the people and culture of Tibet. It is atrocious that our government sits idle and even courts the officials in China, so that we can befriend the oppressors of this peaceful nation.

    I will check out the links that you have provided and see what I can do in my area. I will also point out that many cities have small stores run by displaced Tibetians, these people are so gracious when you spend your hard earned dollars in their store supporting people in Nepal and Tibet. Check out your local stores and support these small businesses.

    Fiat Lux,

    Dian

      Hi, i'm all for freeing Tibet but i wouldn't really agree about boycotting buying products from China. Just like in your own country, you don't always agree with what your government is doing and wouldn't want someone to cut off your livelihood because of some politicians decision.

        It's not just he Tibetans that are persecuted by the chinese government... Zillions (ok maybe not that many) of chinese practice Falun Dafa and are persecuted for their beliefs... be fair and point the finger in the right direction.. towards their government.

        Falun DafaFalun Dafa, a cultivation way of the Buddhas' School, as created and organized by Mr. Li Hongzhi.
