She Rocks the Vote 

Amy Howard, a busy single mother from Tennessee, has long been a fan of Link TV. She watches Mosaic every night with her son, Caelen Willow, who has become his 5th-grade classroom's resident expert on Middle Eastern politics. When she recently tuned in and saw Counting on Democracy and our coverage of the Republican National Convention, this first-time voter had a vision.

Across Mountains and Continents 

Link TV viewers and avid Ducati racers Wendy Hogg and Mark Sutton woke up one morning and turned on Link TV. They were mesmerized by the story of two Tibetan boys crossing the Himalayas to escape living under the repressive Chinese government. Escape from Tibet so moved Mark, that Wendy knew she had to find out how to help the boys, and to further her own commitment to the international Buddhist community.

ACTIVATE YOURSELF!
Wendy joined the Drepung Loseling Institute, the U.S.-based organization that supports the Drepung Loseling Monostary in India, which is where Pasang and Tenzin in Escape from Tibet end up after their arduous journey. They have an educational fund which raises  money to support 2500 refugee monks and nuns.

Wendy and Mark's motorcycle shop espresso bar raises money for the Tibet Fund; they provide critical support for the Tibetan community at home and in exile. They have a variety of programs you can support.

Wendy feels that getting educated about the Tibet issue is one of the best ways to start. The International Campaign for Tibet combines news updates and tips for action. She also recommends the weekly updates put out by the Students for a Free Tibet web site. Their Activist Toolbox has some useful suggestions for anyone who is ready to put passion into action, no matter what the issue is.
