Thank you for everyone who could come out and support us in the last week.
It was a memorable and highly effective protest, which could not have been accomplished without your contribution.
A special thank you to Team Tibet which consist of San Francisco Regional Tibetan Youth Congress, Tibetan Association of Northern California, Committee of 100 for Tibet, Bay Area Friends of Tibet and Students for a Free Tibet.
The time, money, resource and effort that you put in to help us protest Xi Jinping Los Angeles is unparalleled. Your guidance and experience in protest planning and strategy were immeasurable.
