Los Angeles Friends of Tibet

Home

Los Angeles Friends of Tibet helps preserve the endangered Tibetan culture and supports the Tibetan people's non-violent struggle for freedom and justice. We sponsor activities to educate the public, to generate interest and involvement in Tibet and we are active in the national and international Tibet support movement.

Our primary project for 2009 is the production of The Tibet Connection, the only English language radio and Internet news magazine about Tibet.

WHAT WE DO

Since 1991, Los Angeles Friends of Tibet has been Southern California’s strongest voice for Tibet. We are an all-volunteer nonprofit organization working to raise awareness about the endangered Tibetan way of life and the Tibetan people’s non-violent struggle for true political autonomy. We are active in the national and international Tibet Support Movement and have raised funds to help Tibetans in exile.
