On Monday, a high-level delegation sent by President Obama met with the Dalai Lama at his home in Dharamsala, India to discuss the Obama administration's strategy on Tibet  and how the President can assist in pushing for a resolution to the issue during his first official visit to China in November.

While the visit was a clear and strong signal of support for Tibet from the White House, it was followed by an announcement that President Obama is expected to meet with the Dalai Lama only after he returns from China and not when he is in Washington, D.C. in October.

In light of these developments, it is critical that the Obama administration hears strong messages of support for Tibet and calls for action from the American public and the U.S. Congress in the lead up to the President's China visit.
It's up to us to ensure that President Obama follows through on his commitment to assist in bringing about real change for Tibet.

While President Obama has voiced strong support for the rights and aspirations of the Tibetan people, there can be no doubt that the global economic crisis and the strong China lobby have the potential to push Tibet and human rights off the agenda of the U.S.-China summit.

Please send the letter to President Obama calling for action on the Tibet issue.
Your letter will be copied to your Congressional Representatives.

With hope,
Lhadon, Tendor, Kate, Chand, Schuyler, Stefanie, Sonam and all
of us at SFT HQ

Speak out Against China's Religious Order No. 5 Campaign Unavailable

On September 1st, 2007, China's State Administration on Religious Affairs implemented a new law called Order No. 5 which states that Tibetan Buddhist teachers, including the Dalai Lama, cannot be reincarnated without the permission of the central Chinese government. Order No. 5 is a direct attack on Tibet's ancient spiritual traditions and is meant to undermine the Dalai Lama's influence in the region, which is perceived as a threat by Chinese authorities.

Tibetans, their supporters worldwide, and the Tibetan Government-in-Exile, the true representative body of the Tibetan people, have condemned this unjust law. 

Tell me more

Take action now by signing the [INEDITABLE] petition addressed to Ye Xiaowen, Director of China's State Bureau of Religious Affairs.

TAKE ACTION:

Please also take a moment to phone the Bureau (Tel: 86-10-6409-5092 or 86-10-6409-5157) to express your opposition to Order No. 5.
