WHY IT MATTERS TO YOU OR THE WORLD

What impact does this have on your life or on the rest of the world?

• – Your Voice Can Save lives: Time and again experience has shown that international attention to—and public condemnation of—the CCP’s abuses against Falun Gong practitioners and other innocent people in China can make a big difference.
• – The universal values of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance are under attack, and that affects us all. (photo tiananmen20Nov01 caption: Defending Truth, Compassion, and Tolerance: Falun Gong practitioners from 36 countries peacefully appeal on Tiananmen Square in 2001 for an end to the persecution and torture of their Chinese counterparts.)
• – The persecution has spawned a moral crisis for Chinese society. In today’s interconnected world, Chinese delegations we meet be they from the business, academia, or political sectors—have likely been affected
• – The products of corruption and forced labor in China spread worldwide. They may be dangerous because of the moral degradation in China.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

Signing a petition, writing a letter, sharing a link on Facebook, even simply offering a solemn prayer:

• – Contact Your Government Representatives: Call, write and visit to let them know you support Falun Gong. Many levels of government have issued proclamations of recognizing the positive impact Falun Gong has had on society as well as resolutions decrying the persecution. Let them know that you appreciate their support, and ask them to continue.
• – Tell Others What’s Happening: Many people, both inside and outside China, are still unaware of Falun Gong and the severity of the persecution and torture in China. The Chinese Communist regime spreads propaganda demonizing Falun Gong and disguising its own brutal campaign of repression. Get the facts straight and tell more people about the human rights atrocity in China.
• – Stay informed: Discover more about current efforts to end the persecution at the Falun Dafa Information Center
