The proclamation from Mayor Nick Stanley of the City of Aledo reads, “Falun Dafa was first introduced to Dallas-Fort Worth in 1996. Since then, Falun Dafa practitioners have touched lives of residents in Dallas-Fort Worth for over two decades, offering exercises teaching and sharing the benefits of the peaceful practice, particularly through free introductory workshops and outdoor exercises in city’s libraries, recreation centers, parks; participating in many community events, such as holiday parades, festivals; and Falun Dafa practitioners have become an integral part of society’s fabric.

“Falun Dafa practitioners’ determination and courage to stand up for Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance while facing severe persecution from the genocidal and dictatorial Chinese Communist Party have demonstrated to the world their indomitable spirit and unyielding will in defending the values and humanity and safeguarding the sacred nature of universal principles, yet still persevering in faith and tireless efforts raising awareness and resisting the oppression through entirely peaceful means for over 24 years.

“This proclamation will help recognize the value of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, send a strong message of solidarity to those suffering at the hands of the Chinese regime and a complete denial of its inhumane persecution and forced organ harvesting from Falun Dafa practitioners in mainland China.”
