Dear Lovely Avaazers,
I feel so grateful to be part of a community with
people who are standing up for the Uyghur people. While most
of the world’s governments have remained silent, we are
speaking up for the Uyghurs.
That is why I am excited
to invite you to have a conversation in person with a brave
Uyghur woman. This Monday, March 2nd we will gather to talk
with her, and to hear about her personal journey to activism
on behalf of Uyghur people around the world.
This
Gathering is for all of us to reflect and share together - on
how we wish to work for those 1 million Uyghurs who have been
brutally detained and brainwashed, and the many more whose
entire culture is being systematically erased. And to engage
directly with a woman whose family is amongst that one
million.
Together, we will dive into the heart,
bravery, and resilience that is required of us all as we work
to protect essential human rights in China and around the
world.
If you feel called to this purpose, I look
forward to gathering with you on March 2.

I look forward to seeing and connecting with you in

oppressed.
With hope and determination,
Andrew
