    Dear friends,

  Tibetans have exploded onto the streets in frustration--call on China to
respect human rights and enter dialogue with the Dalai Lama now: *Sign the
Petition!*<http://www.avaaz.org/en/tibet_end_the_violence/6.php?cl=62310149>
After decades of repression under Chinese rule, the Tibetan people's
frustrations have burst onto the streets in protests and riots. With the
spotlight of the upcoming Olympic Games now on China, *Tibetans are crying
out to the world for change.*

After decades of repression under Chinese rule, the Tibetan people's
frustrations have burst onto the streets in protests and riots. With the
spotlight of the upcoming Olympic Games now on China, *Tibetans are crying
out to the world for change.*

The Chinese government has said that the protesters who have not yet
surrendered "will be punished". Its *leaders are right now considering a
crucial choice between escalating brutality or dialogue* that could
determine the future of Tibet, and China.

*We can affect this historic choice--China does care about its international
reputation.* China's President Hu Jintao needs to hear that the 'Made in
China' brand and the upcoming Olympics in Beijing can succeed only if he
makes the right choice. But it will take an avalanche of global people power
to get his attention--and we need it in the next 48 hours.

The Tibetan Nobel peace prize winner and spiritual leader, *the Dalai Lama
has called for restraint and dialogue: he needs the world's people to
support him.* Click below now to *sign the petition*--and tell absolutely
everyone you can right away--our goal is 1 million voices united for Tibet:

*China's economy is totally dependent on "Made in China" exports that we all
buy, and the government is keen to make the Olympics in Beijing this summer
a celebration of a new China,* respected as a leading world power. China is
also a very diverse country with a brutal past and has reason to be
concerned about its stability -- some of Tibet's rioters killed innocent
people. But President Hu must recognize that the greatest danger to Chinese
stability and development comes from hardliners who advocate escalating
repression, not from Tibetans who seek dialogue and reform.

We will deliver our petition directly to Chinese officials in London, New
York, and Beijing, but it must be a massive number before we deliver the
petition. *Please forward this email to your address book* with a note
explaining to your friends why this is important, or use our tell-a-friend
tool to email your address book--it will come up after you sign the
petition.

The Tibetan people have suffered quietly for decades. It is finally their
moment to speak--we must help them be heard.

With hope and respect,

Ricken, Iain, Graziela, Paul, Galit, Pascal, Milena, Ben and the whole Avaaz
team

PS - It has been suggested that the Chinese government may block the Avaaz
website as a result of this email, and *thousands of Avaaz members in China
will no longer be able to participate in our community.* A poll of Avaaz
members over the weekend showed that over 80% of us believed it was still
important to act on Tibet despite this terrible potential loss to our
community, if we thought we could make a difference. If we are blocked,
Avaaz will help maintain the campaign for internet freedom for all Chinese
people, so that our members in China can one day rejoin our community.

Pronunciamiento de la Otra Campaña
Puente internacional entre Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, México y El Paso,
Texas, EE.UU.
01-Nov-06

"La Otra Campaña no reconoce esta frontera, considera a nuestros compañeros
del otro lado como parte de México, como parte nuestra, como nuestra sangre.
Y nuestra lucha no reconoce ni ese helicóptero ni esta raya ni esa bandera
de allá arriba. Nosotros reconocemos que México no empieza aquí en esta raya
sino mucho más allá adentro, donde cada uno de nuestros compatriotas está
luchando y trabajando"

"Compañeros y compañeras del otro lado, no hay otro lado, es el mismo, los
que están del otro lado son los que están en ese helicóptero y en la Casa
Blanca y juntos, desde abajo, vamos a hacer caer a unos y a otros. Eso es lo
que nos estamos proponiendo, que en nuestro país, que no reconoce esta
frontera, manden los que están abajo"

-Subcomandante Marcos
