Authoritarian regimes can often seem too difficult to topple. But history shows that when mass numbers of people unite, they can achieve political rights even in the most brutal political systems. Learn how!

Language is critical to maintaining culture and identity for people around the world. In Tibet, despite China’s systematic attempt to stamp out the Tibetan language, Tibetans continue to press for their rights.

Tibet is resource rich, exploited by China’s occupation. Like other communities, Tibetans are fighting practices that largely benefit outside interests, asserting their right to control their economies.

Religion and culture form the very fabric of Tibetan society. Through cultural expressions like dance, dress, and ceremonies, Tibetans are asserting their identity as Tibetan, including their right to religious freedom.

Environmental protection is a pressing global issue of our time. In Tibet, as around the world, countless inspiring people and communities are stopping mining, protecting endangered species, starting eco-tourism projects, and more.
