On March 10th, SF Team Tibet***, as well as other groups around the world, will take to the streets to commemorate the 54th anniversary of the 1959 Tibetan National Uprising.
We mark March 10th each year to show solidarity with Tibetans inside Tibet and to honor and support the brave resistance to the People's Republic of China's totalitarianism and its oppressive policies that continues to this day.
Tibetans in Tibet are risking imprisonment, torture, and their lives to ensure their message is heard and... acted upon by the outside world. With the total confirmed number of Tibetan self-immolations inside Tibet at 126, we must act now. We cannot and will not back down until His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama returns back to his home and human rights is restored. Freedom is our right, Bhoe gyalo!
Schedule TBA (please remember to take the day off from work and/or school to join us)
