Right now, on March 10th, Tibetans and Tibet supporters are taking action for Tibet. Rallies, freedom marches, candlelight vigils, and government lobbying initiatives are taking place around the world. From Sydney to London, Dharamsala to Taipei, and in more than 100 cities worldwide, the Tibetan flag is being raised to honor this important day.

As we commemorate the 52nd anniversary of the 1959 National Uprising in Tibet, it's important to reflect on how far the movement has come – from the first days in exile, Tibetans have built a truly global freedom movement.
