Use your priviledge of access to information to find out more about the Tibetan issue. Don't rely just on media accounts which at times can be inaccurate. See Information links
Read both the outer and inner side of our information leaflet The Crisis in Tibet here.
Form an opinion and share it verbally or visually. Engage on the issue with your friends and family.

Include the people in Tibet who do not have human rights in your thoughts and prayers or meditating on a unified Tibet, with Tibetan and Chinese people living together in harmony.
For a collection of meditations and prayers from none-religious and various religions, see Thoughts & prayers.

Sign petitions and participate in online campaigns - these actions are effective. Our last petition to Mayor Prendergast: Please Talk about Human Rights in Tibet with Chinese Authorities while in Beijing was successful because as a direct result of this petition Mayor Prendergast will tackle Chinese leaders over human rights while in Beijing.
Turn up to vigils, rallys and Tibet events. A good way to find out about these is to join a mailing list like ours or get in touch with people in your area involved.
Supporting non-political Tibetan events like music, or dance or movies or talks from lamas also helps Tibetans because it raises awareness and sometimes money for Tibetan culture. While flourishing in some Tibetan refugee settlements, Tibetan culture may be ubder threat in Tibet. What has happened in Tibet in the last 50 years has been described by many as cultural genocide.
Get involved with a network like ours, or with Friends of Tibet, or another group working for humans' rights. There is room for everyone and many different skills or talents are welcome.
