4. Help make the Beijing 2008 Olympics a catalyst for change in Tibet - Join ICT in calling on China to show the world that it's a worthy host of the 2008 Olympics by ending human rights abuses in Tibet; and directly engaging the Dalai Lama to find a negotiated solution for Tibet. Visit Beijing 2008: Race for Tibet for more information.

5. Petition China to return the Panchen Lama to his home in Tibet - Determined to control religion in Tibet, China kidnapped the 11th Panchen Lama, Gedhun Choekyi Nyima, in 1995 when he was just six years old. Visit Tibet's Stolen Childhood to learn more and sign the petition for his release.
