37 years ago, brave young souls rose up in Tiananmen Square. Today, their legacy reminds us: a truly great nation has the courage to face its history, embrace different voices, and protect the inalienable right to dream. Taiwan will always stand with those striving for freedom.

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

On June 4, the world marks 37 years since the Chinese Communist Party ordered its troops to attack thousands of peaceful demonstrators in and around Tiananmen Square. Those who sacrificed to uphold their unalienable rights of free expression and peaceful assembly will be vindicated someday.

Joshua Wong is facing up to life in PRISON. His only real “crime” was having the courage to stand up for his God-given rights in Communist controlled Hong Kong.

This is wrong. The oppression needs to end. Joshua must be RELEASED.

On October 10, 2025, Chinese authorities launched coordinated nationwide raids against underground Christian leaders. Chinese pastor Ezra Jin and many others were arrested on charges of “inciting to subvert state power.”

According to his family, Jin is being held in harsh prison conditions without proper medical treatment or access to a Bible.

“What we’re seeing now is a renewed desire from the state under Chairman Xi to engineer souls.”

By the time the Walk for Peace arrived in D.C., 108 days and 2,300 miles after leaving Fort Worth, it had become a social media phenomenon and an unexpected inspirational tether for millions who followed the Buddhist monks’ trek online and the tens of thousands of people across eight states who greeted them along the way.

“It's not about Buddhism,” said Bhikkhu Pannakara at a gathering in D.C. “Mindfulness is for all beings. It’s your duty to unlock it.”

[PBS News @NewsHour]

A group of 19 Buddhist monks completed their 2,300-mile journey to the nation's capital earlier this week as they spread messages of mindfulness, compassion and peace during their months on the road.

In October, the monks and their rescue dog, Aloka, left Fort Worth, Texas, en route to Washington, D.C., for what they called “The Walk for Peace.”

Along their journey, the monks from the Huong Dao Vipassana Bhavana Center greeted well-wishers with blessings, smiles and thousands of peace bracelets as they marched toward the nation’s capital.

“This world has been receiving so much anger and hatred and everything already — that is why it's coming back to us with all kinds of sufferings, all kinds of disasters,” the group’s soft-spoken leader, Venerable Bhikkhu Pannakara, said at one of their final stops in Alexandria, Virginia. “We walk not to bring any attention to us, but we just hope that we raise awareness of peace to all the people who we'll meet along the road.”

As their message resonated with thousands across the country and world, the group’s social media channels exploded, racking up millions of followers.

Never taking a day off, some of the monks walked on foot, even in an ice storm and below freezing temperatures.

Extreme weather conditions weren't the only challenge. In November, one monk had a leg amputated after he was struck by a vehicle while walking alongside U.S. Highway 90 near Dayton, Texas.

And in South Carolina, Aloka, the now-famous “peace dog” began limping and required surgery. As he recovered, he largely rode alongside the monks in an escort vehicle, joining the group as they rested each evening.

The monks completed their journey on Tuesday in Washington, D.C., where they pressed members of Congress to recognize Buddha’s birthday as a federal holiday. They planned to lead a public meditation before departing home to Fort Worth.

The sentencing of Jimmy Lai in Hong Kong is an unjust and tragic conclusion to this case. We urge the authorities to grant Mr. Lai humanitarian parole.

[Nancy Pelosi @SpeakerPelosi]

China’s sentencing of Jimmy Lai to 20 years in prison is a grave injustice and a direct assault on freedom of the press and the rule of law.

The world must speak with one voice: this outrageous political persecution must end and Jimmy Lai must be released immediately.

[VijayBabu ☸️ @Vijayluffy_943]

🍀 May no storm slow our steps, no hardship dim our purpose—for when we walk with mindfulness, each breath becomes strength, each footfall becomes light, and the message of peace we carry grows brighter with every soul who chooses to walk beside us, in person or in spirit.
