About this Event

Location: Lafayette Square (on H Street across from St. John's)
As President Trump prepares to meet Xi Jinping, we will gather in front of the White House to send a clear message: there should be no deals without freedom.
The Chinese Communist Party continues to J*il people across China and Hong Kong for peaceful speech, independent journalism, political participation, religious belief, and human rights advocacy. We call on President Trump to use his meeting with Xi to fulfill his personal commitment to free Jimmy Lai and secure the release of all those unjustly detained across China, including Pastor Jin Mingri, Pastor Gao Quanfu, Dr. Gulshan Abbas, Ekpar Asat, and Ding Jiaxi.
Join us for a peaceful, public rally featuring political prisoners’ families, advocates, and community voices standing in solidarity with those imprisoned for speaking truth.
The event is permitted by DC MPD. Please follow the organizer's on-site guidance and respect any instructions related to public safety, access, and crowd movement. Registration is not required, but it helps us estimate attendance so we can better plan for the event and coordinate with law enforcement.
The rally is organized by CFHK Foundation, together with Luke Alliance, International Campaign for Tibet, Campaign for Uyghurs, and Uyghur Human Rights Project — partner organizations and advocates standing in solidarity with political prisoners across Hong Kong and China. All media planning to attend should RSVP to [email protected].
