(Minghui.org) Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa, was first made public in Changchun, Jilin Province, China, on May 13, 1992, by its founder Mr. Li Hongzhi. The practice has since spread to more than 100 countries around the world.
May 13 was declared “World Falun Dafa Day” in 2000. On the occasion of the 2019 World Falun Dafa Day, elected officials in Florida, Massachusetts, and Maryland issued proclamations and citations to show their support and to commend Falun Dafa.
