This year marks the 27th anniversary of the deadly persecution of the spiritual practice Falun Dafa, also known as Falun Gong, in China. Falun Dafa practitioners and human rights advocates will gather in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington for a rally and march, calling for an end to the Chinese Communist Party’s human rights violations.
