Mr. Sam Ma, a Falun Gong practitioner and former practicing attorney from China, gave a speech at the rally. Ma recounted how Falun Gong practitioners in China had peacefully and rationally appealed for the right to practice their basic beliefs and to allow them to follow the Falun Gong principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance on April 25, 1999. He called the persecution of Falun Gong a harm to the world’s people and a challenge to the bottom line of morality.

Some people broke down in tears upon seeing pictures of Falun Gong practitioners who had died from being persecuted. Many thanked practitioners for their efforts to bring the truth to people and praised the practitioners’ work.

A woman from China talked with practitioners to find out more detailed information. She decided to quit all of the Communist organizations she had joined.
