SFT is encouraged to see The Telegraph report on the news coming out of Dege
We look to more outlets to cover the reality of Tibetans inside Tibet and amplify their voices as they suffer from grave human rights abuses by the Chinese government

Thank you @CMShahanaHanif & @CMAlexaAviles for standing with immigrant NYers. NYC's sanctuary policies make our city safer: "We call on the Mayor to stop stoking division and focus on bringing communities together with proven safety solutions."

Our Office is investigating the tree trimming that occurred outside Universal Studios where workers, writers, and actors are exercising their right to picket.
The trimmed trees are LA City managed street trees.

SAG LA Vice President Michelle Hurd explains that “you know those actors when you go ‘oh there’s that guy from that show’, you don’t necessarily know their names… those actors are working class actors who are literally working paycheck to paycheck.”
HKDC Executive Director @AnnaKwokFY statement on the #HongKong national security police issuing arrest warrants for her & 7 other exiled HKers & placing HK$1 million bounty on their heads. She says this is yet another reason why the US should #BarJohnLee. https://t.co/2tkrjxGdX8
A group of Hong Kong activists displayed light-up signs reading "Glory" and "Hong Kong" atop Lion Rock last Friday night, as the city marked four years since an estimated one million people march in protest of an extradition bill.
My latest: On the Eve of the International Day Against Homophobia, the #Beijing LGBT Center, one of #Chnia's largest LGBTQ organizations, announced its decision to cease operation. Activists told me they are disappointed but not surprised by the outcome.https://t.co/f8JO0kNQ3M
Jordan Neely was murdered.
But bc Jordan was houseless and crying for food in a time when the city is raising rents and stripping services to militarize itself while many in power demonize the poor, the murderer gets protected w/ passive headlines + no charges.
It’s disgusting.
In @ArtBasel week, the biggest news stories out of #HongKong are #censorship. First “Winnie the Pooh,” now “No Rioters.” In both cases, a private company censors for fear of falling foul of the authorities. The regime shows its true face to visitors. #Repression eats itself.
🚨 @DonnieYenCT is a member of the #CCP and actively opposes democracy in #HongKong. He should have no place handing out the #Oscars which champion freedom worldwide.
Today we projected the faces of women who hv been put behind bar for >500 days by the #HongKong gov for standing up against the destruction of freedom in Hong Kong. Their courage has lighten up #NewYork this Friday night. Remember their names. #FreeHKPoliticalPrisoners
Why is it that whenever lawmakers have to confront the social costs of corporate greed, they roll over and penalize workers who are most immediately harmed by it? https://t.co/JPIVusJ3X7
⚠️WARNING: the following slides may be triggering.
We shall not forget the sacrifices for Hong Kong’s pro-democracy movement. We commemorate the lost, remember their stories and carry on their spirits.

.@thcfhk projected images onto buildings near #NewYork’s Financial District that call on #WallStreet to boycott the #CCP-organized financial conference next week in #HongKong and highlight #China’s brutal tactics used against its own citizens.
