Digital tools + strategic nonviolent action strengthen capacity of Tibet movement

From Democracy Digest.

TAI’s team, comprised of technologists and human rights advocates, develops and advances open-source communication technologies, nonviolent strategies, and innovative training programs for Tibetans with a particular focus on digital security and harnessing the power of digital technologies, adds Tethong, a recipient of the National Endowment for Democracy’s 2019 award.
