Your Action Can Save LivesJoin UARK-SFT Today! |
Students for a Free Tibet (SFT) works in solidarity with the Tibetan people in their struggle for freedom and independence. We are a chapter-based network of young people and activists around the world. Through education, grassroots organizing, and non-violent direct action, we campaign for Tibetans' fundamental right to political freedom. Our role is to empower and train youth as leaders in the worldwide movement for social justice.
In our work for Tibetan independence we also aim to inspire and enable people, especially youth, to create a just and equitable world, free of oppression, in which there is respect for the earth and all living things.
We believe every individual has the right to be free. Those who enjoy freedom have the power and also the responsibility to make positive change in the world. We seek to create opportunities to inspire, enable and motivate all people to see that change is possible. We value creativity in every pursuit and we believe it is essential to have fun while working towards our vision of a just and equitable world.
ONE WORLD, ONE DREAM: FREE TIBETChina's official slogan for the 2008 Olympic Games in China is ONE WORLD, ONE DREAM. It is meant to hide the brutality of its "One China" policy - the cruel occupation of Tibet, military threats against Taiwan, oppression of the Uyghur people of East Turkestan, and colonization of Southern Mongolia.
ONE WORLD, ONE DREAM: FREE TIBET is SFT's official Olympic slogan and we're going to spread it around the world. By the time the Games start two years from now, we want the world to be more familiar with it than they are with China's.
By using the tools China has created for the Olympics, like this slogan and the Tibetan antelope mascot "Yingying", SFT will subvert China's propaganda and promote our message of human rights and freedom for Tibet.
