Protest at China’sUN Mission in NYC and Virtual Protest World-Wide
I just received this press release from LiNK in Seoul. They have already organized a protest in front of the Chinese U.N. Mission in New York, along with a virtual protest by phone, fax, and e-mail. At the post immediately below this one, I have added a sample letter you can copy, paste, and send to Chinese officials. As always, you’re free to edit, but when it comes to authoritarian governments, the “nice” approach works a lot better than what I’m actually thinking now.
You haven’t heard the last of LiNK. They are a supremely confident, competent, and connected group of people, in spite of the fact that most of them are still in their 20s.
And of course, there’s still time to write Congress.
