The Tibetan Freedom Concerts showed what can happen when music, culture, and community come together in service of something bigger. The work continues. Learn more, take action and lend your support:
Students For A Free Tibet works in solidarity with the Tibetan people in their struggle for freedom and independence. As a global, chapter-based network of young activists, SFT campaigns for Tibetans’ right to political freedom through education, grassroots organizing, and nonviolent direct action — and was a key partner during the Tibetan Freedom Concerts, where the first show helped catalyze a surge in new chapters and global growth.
Tibet Action Institute combines the power of digital communication with strategic nonviolent action to advance the Tibetan freedom movement. Through innovative campaigns, training, education, and technology programs, TAI equips Tibetans with the tools and knowledge to achieve human rights and freedom in Tibet.
Help us bring the spirit of the Tibetan Freedom Concerts and the power of music to a wider audience. Every $100 helps us reach 600 - 1000 more listeners!
Other Actions:
Change doesn’t come from big moments alone. It happens when ordinary people give a little more — one small act at a time. What would giving 1% more look like for you?
Share this project. Send Freedom Needs a Soundtrack to friends, post about it on social media, and invite others to listen and take action. Action is always more fun and more powerful with friends.
Feed your local culture. Go to shows. Buy the zine, the record, the print, or the ticket. Support independent artists, local businesses, and community spaces. They help people find each other, and that is often where joy, connection, and lasting change begin.
Support public media. Listen to and support public radio stations like our partner KALW. Public media helps keep independent storytelling, local reporting, music, and community voices on the air. Use a public radio station finder to find one near you.
Write for freedom. Join Amnesty International or another human rights group and write letters for political prisoners and people unjustly detained. It is a simple action that really works: many have been released because ordinary people around the world wrote on their behalf.
Support local organizing. Find groups in your community working on issues you care about and ask what they need. Volunteer, show up, donate, or help spread the word.
Use your civic power. Register to vote, help others register, attend local meetings, and support candidates and policies that protect freedom and human rights.
