Our Himalayan neighbors from across District 26 came out in force today to testify in favor of Intro. 100, my bill to recognize Losar, the Tibetan Buddhist New Year, as an Alternate Side Parking holiday in NYC. #Losar #TibetanNewYear

This feels incredibly depressing, but we shall not despair. Internationally, the world has decidedly awaken to CCP's authoritarian expansionism. Domestically, the idea of trading human rights and democracy for economic growth is breaking down. Hold fast, and we will prevail!

If China is serious about lifting Tibetan children out of poverty and protecting Tibetan language and culture, as it claims, Gangjong Sherig Norbu Lobling School must be reopened, immediately. Please visit TibetAction.net and sign the petition to reopen the school.

NEW: Harvard punished a Taiwanese student, Cosette Wu, who disrupted a talk by China's ambassador. But it declined to punish a Chinese student who forcibly dragged Wu from the event. After video of the assault went viral, Harvard even gave that student a letter of apology .🧵

Fernand de Varennes, UN Special Rapporteur, said China's separation of Tibetan children from their parents into boarding schools aims to wipe out their identity, calling it a form of cultural genocide.

The earthquake in Tibet is a nightmare on top of a nightmare. Nearly all Tibetan school-age children in boarding schools. Tiny ones 3-5 years old in hidden boarding preschools. This piece tells the story China doesn't want us to see. Please share 🙏🏽 nytimes.com/interactive/20…

At today’s Stated meeting, my bill, Intro. 100, passed in the City Council. This is a historic moment for the 61,000 Tibetan Buddhist New Yorkers who can focus on celebrating Losar instead of moving their cars. Thank you to the Tibetan & Himalayan community for your advocacy!

Devastating: the 48 Uyghurs in Thai detention have apparently been deported to Xinjiang (Kashgar). Further evidence on this shocking development has been gathered by Nyrola and local Thai journalists.

I am troubled to learn of the mysterious death of Tibetan religious leader Tulku Hungkar Dorjee in Vietnam. He had been harassed by authorities in China for running his monastery and schools. Department of State must urge Vietnam to do a full and transparent independent investigation.
