(Clearwisdom.net) On May 8th and 9th, 2004, Falun Dafa practitioners in Seattle held activities in Chinatown and the center of the city respectively. They displayed posters, clarified the truth to Chinese people as well as Westerners, and demonstrated Falun Gong exercises, so as to celebrate the fifth World Falun Dafa Day and the 12th anniversary of Falun Gong's introduction to the public.

Local practitioners had been clarifying the truth of Falun Gong in these two locations every weekend; therefore many passersby already knew the truth. When they passed the posters again, they took the initiative to tell their family members and friends about Falun Gong and the persecution against Falun Gong in China. Many people signed the petition asking the Governor to uphold justice for Falun Gong.
