Dear friends,

After decades of suffering, the Tibetan people have burst onto the streets
in protests and riots. The spotlight of the upcoming Olympic Games is now on
China, and Tibetan Nobel peace prize winner *the Dalai Lama is calling to
end all violence through restraint and dialogue--he urgently needs the
support of the world's people.*

China's leaders are lashing out publicly at the Dalai Lama--but we're told
many Chinese officials believe dialogue is the best hope for stability in
Tibet. *China's leadership is right now considering a crucial choice between
crackdown and dialogue* that could determine Tibet's--and China's--future.

*We can affect this historic choice--China does care about its international
reputation,* and we can help them choose the right path. China's President
Hu Jintao needs to hear that the 'Made in China' brand and the upcoming
Olympics in Beijing will succeed only if he makes the right choice. But it
will take an avalanche of global people power to get his attention. Click
below now to join 250,000 others and *sign the petition*--and tell
absolutely everyone you can right away--our goal is *1 million voices united
for Tibet:*

*China's economy is 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 and respected China.* China is also a sprawling,
diverse country with much brutality in its past, so it has good reasons to
be concerned about stability -- some of Tibet's rioters killed innocent
people. But President Hu must recognize that the greatest danger to Chinese
stability and development today comes from hardliners who advocate
escalating repression, not from those Tibetans seeking dialogue and reform.

We will deliver our petition directly to Chinese officials in New York,
London and Beijing, but it must be a massive number first. *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 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
