The CCP's ongoing genocide of the Uyghur people is a crime against humanity that's too grave to ignore. We have a special obligation to galvanize the U.S. government and the international community to confront the CCP's clear intent to destroy the existence of the Uyghur people.

Today marks the 5th consecutive birthday that Dr. Gulshan Abbas has spent in captivity, unjustly imprisoned in Xinjiang as a form of targeted transnational repression for her sister's activism. Her release, and that of all imprisoned Uyghurs, is long overdue.

As someone who was once a young overseas Chinese student, I have so much admiration for Zhang Jinrui for his courage. It is people like him that makes all of us a bit less fearful and lonely, and a bit more hopeful and empowered. rfa.org/english/news/c…

This morning I, a U.S. citizen, woke up to the news that an arrest warrant & a HKD $1 million bounty have been placed on my head by the Hong Kong govt. for exercising my freedoms in my own country. More to say later but for now: I will never be silenced, I will never back down.
