Dear John,

The future of Tibetan Buddhism is on the line. Chinese Communist Party officials aren’t just restricting Tibetans’ rights to practice their religion—they’re claiming the very right to appoint the next Dalai Lama.

If China appoints a Dalai Lama, and the international community does not object to this, it will be an irreversible step toward the eradication of Tibetan culture and Buddhism.

But you can help back breakthrough legislation right now that declares US opposition to Chinese control of Tibetan Buddhism. Make a gift to help us pass the Tibetan Policy and Support Act of 2019 into law.

The new Tibetan Policy and Support Act of 2019 rejects China’s claim of authority to appoint Tibetan spiritual leaders and re-affirms US support for the people of Tibet. This legislation is an important step in gathering world leaders to challenge China’s illegitimate control of Tibetan religion.

As an ICT supporter, you’ve backed Tibetans in their quest for religious freedom. We need your help now to press Congress to pass this critical legislation before China completes its takeover of Tibetan Buddhism.

Your gift today will help us mount a sustained advocacy campaign to contact legislators and rally public support. Please, make your best possible contribution to ICT today—and show that you will not be silent in the face of injustice.

The stakes couldn’t be higher, so Tibetans need your help more than ever. Thank you for your commitment to the Tibetan cause.

In Solidarity,

Matteo Mecacci
President

P.S. John, you helped ICT bring the Tibetan Policy and Support Act of 2019 to the table. Now help us get it passed into law. Make your best gift to support ICT’s advocacy efforts.
