Dear Friends:

Please accept my warm greetings as you gather to focus international attention on human rights in China. Although I cannot attend, I hope that your event is memorable.

I believe all people must be afforded the respect of their basic human dignity. When people's rights are violated, anywhere in the world, it is important that we do what we can to bring equality back into their lives.

I wish you the best in your endeavors.

Sincerely,

Barbara Boxer

United States Senator
