MARCHING AGAIN:ITIM is coordinating another “March for Tibet's Independence.” This 115+ mile walk will start at 9am on June 2nd in downtown Charlottesville, Virginia near the intersection of 2nd and Water Streets. It will conclude on June 11th at 12pm with a rally in front of The People’s Republic of China's Embassy in Washington, D.C. located at 2300 Connecticut Avenue, Northwest. The walk coincides with the 17th Anniversary of the violent suppression and massacre of Chinese citizens in Tiananmen Square.
Jigme Norbu (son of Taktser Rinpoche and nephew of His Holiness The Dalai Lama) will once again participate as a way to further His father's lifelong effort to regain Tibet's independence. We hope hundreds of Tibetans and Tibet Supporters will stand with us at China's Embassy in D.C. to protest China's illegal and brutal occupation of Tibet!
This is the 12th major ‘March’ or ‘Bike Ride’ for Tibet’s Independence organized by ITIM since 1995. To date, our walkers and bike riders have covered a distance of 3,215 miles or 5,174 kilometers.
