[Buddha-l] Tibet Protest in DC March 31st

[jkirk]

I just received this in my inbox:

"I'm writing now to everyone I've met or who's contacted me in the past few
days about solidarity demonstrations in DC for Tibet. The next major day
will be Monday, March 31 at the Whitehouse, beginning at 12:30 in the
afternoon. I'm still awaiting details from the organizers but I want to get
the date and time out to you all ASAP. A number of people will be bussing in
from along the east coast - Boston, NYC, etc. - to join us."

It is from Rich Felker, Mid-Atlantic Regional Coordinator for Students for a
Free Tibet. Sounds like it could be big!

The Dharamshala leader of Students for a Free Tibet was interviewed on NPR
this morning. He clearly said they want independence from China, did not
attack HHDL but did say they disagree with his politics, which they think
haven't worked because "the Chinese are insincere." Exact quote.

But it seems so early for demos to b e effective--the games don't start
until August.
