City of Philadelphia
Michael A. Nutter
Mayor
May 5, 2010
Dear Friends:
World Falun Dafa Day on May 13, 2010 is a time for the citizens of Philadelphia to come together and celebrate the triumph of truth, compassion and tolerance.
I commend the Greater Philadelphia Falun Dafa Association for organizing an event to honor those who practice Falun Gong in China and around the world. As members of a free country, we all reserve the right to pursue our spiritual practices without persecution.
Our great city echoes the United States Congress' resolution to end the Chinese Communist Party's campaign to persecute, intimidate, imprison and torture Falun Gong practitioners.
Best wishes for a peaceful day of reflection and much continued success.
Sincerely,
Michael A. Nutter
Mayor
