Oct 17: Watch the Dalai Lama's Public Address Live~This Wednesday, October 17th~
The President of the United States will present His Holiness the Dalai Lama with the prestigious Congressional Gold Medal of Honor. Thousands of Tibetans and their supporters will be in Washington, D.C to celebrate this historic occasion. Following the award ceremony, the Dalai Lama will give a public address from the West Lawn of the Capitol.
We're excited to announce that several live broadcasts of the Congressional Gold Medal Ceremony will be available for public viewing. The International Campaign for Tibet will webcast the day's events, starting at 11am. Click here for more details. Voice of America (VOA) will also have a televised Tibetan language broadcast, airing live at 12:45pm EST (10:15pm New Delhi standard time, 12:45am Lhasa standard time). For frequency and additional broadcasting information, please visit VOA's website.
On October 17, be a part of history by organizing a public screening of the Congressional Gold Medal Ceremony on your campus or in your community. This is a great way to raise awareness about Tibet in the lead up to the 2008 Beijing Olympics. It also pays tribute to the Dalai Lama's tireless efforts to find a peaceful resolution to the Tibet issue, and his monumental contribution to global peace.
This celebration will also mark the first public meeting between the Dalai Lama and a sitting U.S. President, following a wave of high profile meetings between the Dalai Lama and world leaders. Last month, he was warmly met by German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, despite strong objections from the Chinese government.
Help show the Chinese government the widespread global support for Tibet by joining us at the U.S. Capitol on October 17th. If you are unable to travel to D.C., please share this historic moment with fellow students, co-workers, family and friends by organizing a live screening of the celebration.
Bod Rangzen, Free Tibet!
