The Facebook Causes Giving Challenge ends tomorrow!
And we're in 2nd place. The key for us to win $50,000 is in your hands.
We're asking each of you to do one final thing: If you haven't already done so, please donate now: http://apps.facebook.com/causes/view_cause/47691
If you have donated - thank you and please help us find 1 new person to donate $10 to the Tibetan Freedom Movement.
Just 1 person will make the difference! We are so close to winning the $50,000, but our competitors' numbers are rising fast. The only way we can win is if you can help make it happen. The challenge ends tomorrow (Friday, February 1st) at 3pm EST.
Our work is not easy to measure. This has been the case for freedom struggles throughout history. Movements for social and political change chip away at the power of the oppressor until a tipping point is reached. Only then does the long-term strategy become clear. Until that moment, all the people have is their determination and fundamental belief in the justness of their cause.
This is our reality. The road to Tibetan freedom has been long and will continue to be hard, but we are determined--and so are our supporters. China may be powerful, but they are not invincible. Tibetans inside Tibet, despite the incredible suffering and oppression they face, continue to speak out for their rights.
It is our job to support them and amplify their voices around the world.
After all these years the Chinese leadership has failed to destroy the Tibetan spirit and hunger for freedom. Global support combined with the Tibetan people's undying conviction means that a free Tibet is inevitable.
This is a critical year for Tibet. The Olympic Games in China will bring attention to our oppressor like never before. Please help us make sure Tibet is not forgotten. Please help us win these critical funds so that we can maximize our efforts to effect positive political change in Tibet. Help us write the history books so that future generations look back at this moment and say, "That was the turning point in the Tibetan struggle for freedom."
Please donate now or find one new person and make sure that they donate today. http://apps.facebook.com/causes/view_cause/47691
