(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners regularly hold activities in downtown Seattle to expose the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution through displaying banners, distributing flyers, and collecting signatures on petitions. Over the years, their persistence and compassion have won the public’s respect and support.

Falun Dafa practitioners hold activities in Seattle, Washington.

Many passersby talked with practitioners. Some said they were appalled to learn of the CCP’s atrocities against Falun Dafa practitioners in China, especially harvesting organs from practitioners while they are alive. Many people strongly condemned the persecution and signed petitions calling end to the CCP’s persecution.

Practitioners also ask Chinese people to quit the Communist organizations they joined and not to be buried with the Chinese Communist Party. Their call is meant to awaken people’s conscience and is not political.

People in Seattle sign a petition.

Touched by Falun Dafa practitioners’ tenacious effort, some people try to make a donation or bring food to practitioners. Practitioners politely decline and explain that they simply wish to spread the truth. Mr. Zhang, a local resident, told practitioners, “I admire your persistence! Thank you for telling us all these facts. Keep up with doing a great job!”

One Chinese man said that when he lived in China, he saw many posters in his residential compound about missing children. He and his neighbors suspected these children were organ harvesting victims. The local government removed all the posters to hide the facts, but he deeply believes the CCP’s crime of organ harvesting is indeed happening.

A tourist asked a practitioner, “Are you encouraging people to practice Falun Dafa?” The practitioner explained that their goal was to clarify the truth about the persecution, refute the Chinese Communist Party’s slander, and to call for an end to the persecution. The practitioner explained that the CCP lies about Falun Dafa, including the self-immolation hoax on Tiananmen Square, and that the CCP has now extended its persecution overseas, such as its interference with Shen Yun Performing Arts.

Some Chinese tourists chose to quit the Communist organizations they joined after learning the facts about Falun Dafa. Some took information about how to break through the CCP’s Internet blockade. Those who are interested in Falun Dafa can find information about how to learn the exercises and where they can read Falun Dafa books online.
