Friday 6
Funny how recent outrages sometimes make you forget some of the older ones–like the Chinese government’s overrunning of Tibet in 1949. You can protest China’s continuing occupation of Tibet with Chicago’s Tibetan Resettlement Project outside the Chinese consulate, 104 S. Michigan, from 10 to 3 today. It’s free. Call 664-8117 for details. The project–along with the American Refugee Committee–is also holding a forum on Tibet Thursday, March 12, at the Hyatt Regency, 151 E. Wacker, in rooms G and H of Columbus Hall, at 5:30 PM. You can learn about plans to resettle 100 Tibetans in Chicago in 1992 and get an update on the current political situation in Lhasa. It’s free, but reservations are needed. Call 708-328-1628 for more.
