As we commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 1959 Tibetan uprising, a blackout is descending across Tibet - cutting the Tibetan people off from the rest of the world.

But together we can beat the blackout. Donate below to provide crucial communication technology and equipment to Tibetan civil society groups, such as Voice of Tibet, and help protect Tibetans from further human rights violations. Contributions, no matter how small will make a difference:

• For $90 we can fund the transmission of an entire hour of Voice of Tibet radio network, which provides unbiased news across the region
• $25 each from just 100 of us supports new technology that allows Tibetans to safely avoid censorship
• For $100 from just 100 of us we can help upgrade a radio transmitter in India, broadcasting deeper into Tibet.

Even if you can't donate, please repost this in our blog so others can help. Thanks so much!
