All the Team U.S.A. athletes will be camping at the SJSU between July 21 and August 4, before being flown to Beijing and we want to take this opportunity to reach out to the athletes urging them to keep Tibet in their mind while participating in the games.

SF Tibetan Activists Travel to Eugene, Oregon to Meet US Olympic Athletes
Twenty members of SF Team Tibet, including TYC and SFT activists, made the long drive to the University of Oregon, at Eugene on June 28th, to attend the 2008 US Olympic Team track and field trials, appealing to the athletes to stand up for Tibet in Beijing. The events included a peaceful protest and rally at a park at the U of Oregon, and handing out good luck packages to the athletes that included a letter of appeal to help Tibet.

 A Call to Action from Students for a Free Tibet: For nearly a decade, Tibetans and their supporters worldwide have been preparing for the Beijing Olympics, which open on August 8th. Across the globe, activists and Tibet supporters like yourself are joining Team Tibet to show support for the Tibetan people in this historic moment for our movement.
With the Beijing Olympics fast approaching, Team Tibet groups around the world are busy preparing ways to stand up for Tibet, educate the public, and take action to keep the Olympic spotlight on Tibetans' determination to continue their nonviolent struggle for freedom. There is probably a Team Tibet group in your area (and if not, maybe you can start one!).
Anyone can be a part of Team Tibet - join us today!
