Support the Reciprocal Access to Tibet Act

Dear [Decision Maker],

* Personalize your message

I am writing to ask you to cosponsor H.R. 1112, the "Reciprocal Access to Tibet Act," a bipartisan bill introduced by Representatives Jim McGovern (D-MA) and Joseph Pitts (R-PA). If you have already done this, I ask that you share this bill with other Members of Congress to increase support.

The Reciprocal Access to Tibet Act will promote reciprocity between US and China by encouraging China to extend Americans unrestricted travel access to Tibet as Chinese people are given when coming to the US and will enable US officials to provide services to Americans in Tibet without hindrance.

The full text of the bill can be found here: https://www.congress.gov/114/bills/hr1112/BILLS-114hr1112ih.xml

China has turned Tibet into an information blackhole by shutting out the world media, foreign tourists and international diplomats. To date, the Chinese government has rejected most US requests for visits to Tibet. Behind these closed doors, Chinese leaders design and implement repressive policies in Tibet which have led to at least 140 self-immolation protests by Tibetans in Tibet.

The bill can have a monumental impact by helping ensure that American diplomats have unrestricted access to assess the human rights situation in Tibet and ensure accountability on the Chinese authorities responsible for the lockdown of Tibet.

I ask you to please support the Reciprocal Access to Tibet Act today.

Thank you,
