2016 United Nations Membership for Taiwan/Keep Taiwan Free March & Rally
A defined territory? Check.
A permanent population? Check.
A government that can maintain relations with other countries? Check.
Membership in the United Nations? ..
Why not? Let’s talk about it.
The time is now for us to speak up but we need your help.
SAVE THE DATE!
For more than 20+ years, the Taiwanese American community in the New York area has gathered at the United Nations and Times Square for the United Nations Membership for Taiwan/Keep Taiwan Free March & Rally. The rally takes place in September to coincide with the UN General Assembly, to spark awareness and spread interest about Taiwan's position in the global community. We also place an emphasis on themes such as freedom, peace, self-determination, democracy - all of which are basic human rights.
主權獨立，台灣入聯；
守護民主，自由台灣!

Taiwan, and Taiwan’s hard-fought democracy, matters and it is up to us to tell the world.

Everyone is cordially invited. Bring your family! Bring your friends! Bring your dog! Help support our mutual love of democracy and human rights!

各位鄉親朋友：
台灣過去爭取民主自由的可歌可泣歲月中，從來不會少著為台灣流血流淚的先賢。聽聞這些曾為台灣付出的委屈、悲情、辛酸、和憤怒，身處他鄉的我們，除了感謝，是否可以站出來發自內心的支持他們，一起為台灣的未來奮鬥?
台灣入聯合國請願運動從1992年開始到現在已經邁向第24個年頭，台灣人應有的權利和尊嚴需要每一個台灣人站出來主動去爭取。
今年，我們將在九月十七日中午十二點四十五分於聯合國的哈瑪紹廣場集合，一起走向紐約街頭和時代廣場， 一起為"台灣加入聯合國"而努力，讓全世界的人知道，台灣是台灣人的台灣，是世界的台灣!
台灣, 一個由兩千三百萬人民組成的國家, 重視著自由, 重視著民主以及基本的人權價值. 至今, 即使台灣已經符合了聯合國1933年訂下的蒙特維多國家權利義務公約 – 有著確定的領土, 人民以及可以與其他國家對等交流的政府 – 沒有任何法定上的衝突. 台灣還是無法成為聯合國的會員國. 因為台灣在國際社會受到政治上的壓迫, 我們的入聯申請屢次招到退回. 因此, 我們希望藉由這些示威遊行活動能夠喚醒所有關心的人去一起為台灣爭取到在國際上應有的尊重與地位
每一分守護的力量、堅定的勇氣，都將改變台灣的未來。台灣的未來就是現在!
主權獨立、台灣入聯；
守護民主、自由台灣！
Taiwan Matters!

[[ UPDATE!!!! AS OF SEPTEMBER 2 ]]
We have a very diverse group of speakers this year - ranging from young Taiwanese Americans, to a Tibetan activist, to a former Chinese political prisoner. We will have the former Ambassador of the Dominican Republic, Ambassador Manuel Felix, speak as well.
