These suggestions and ideas we have provided are just the merest beginnings. Please also bear in mind that this is not a top-down campaign. Do whatever you feel is best suited, in your particular place or situation, to promoting the campaign. There are no orthodoxies in the DEA campaign. As the campaign progresses, more ideas and strategies will become apparent and as we requested earlier, please do not hesitate to pass them on to us so that all DEArs (pronounced dears) will be able to share them on our website. Please also send in whatever frustrations, criticisms and doubts you may face during the campaign, so that we can, wherever possible, help you out with them. Even when we cannot do anything immediately, we are confident that just having them read by DEArs all over the world will, sooner or later, result in a solution.

The DEA campaign will most certainly bring about a positive change in the present situation where China grows more brutal, aggressive and xenophobic every year and where the leaders of the free world only seem capable of bending-over ever more backwards to appease it. The non-violent but morally powerful method we have chosen will, because of its grass-roots nature, take some time to deliver results. Yet, this drawback is more than compensated for by the fact that it is a strategy that does not depend for its success on the goodwill or intercession of politicians, bankers or businessmen people who are most susceptible to China's economic blandishments. It also does not require a complex organization or substantial funding for success. Essentially, all it requires is for you not to buy Made in China. Everything else will follow.

So the Rangzen Alliance and other organisations who have initiated this DEA campaign, call on Tibetans, friends, support groups, students and all decent freedom-loving people to join us in this non-violent but direct action, which more than anything else, will send a clear message to Beijing that the free world will not tolerate China's myriad human rights violations, its brutal occupation of Tibet and its naked hostility to democracy and freedom.

SAY NO TO "MADE IN CHINA"
SAY YES TO FREEDOM
