A Million Strong for Tibet: End the violence

THE TIBETANS ARE SENDING OUT A GLOBAL CRY FOR CHANGE.

After decades of repression, Tibetans are crying out to the world for
change. The Tibetan spiritual leader, His Holiness The Dalai Lama, has
called for restraint and dialogs: he needs the world's people to support
him. But violence is spreading across Tibet and the world, and the Chinese
regime is right now considering a choice between increasing brutality or
dialogs, that could determine the future of Tibet and China.

We can affect this historic choice - China Œdoes¹ care about its
international reputation. Its economy is totally dependent on "Made in
China" exports that we all buy, and it is keen to make the Olympics in
Beijing this summer a celebration of a new China that is a respected world
power. The Chinese President Hu Jintao needs to hear that 'Brand China' and
the Olympics can succeed only if he makes the right choice. But it will take
an avalanche of global people power to get the government's attention.

"I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not
judge the universe."
- The Dalai Lama
