We will express our grievance for the victims of the June 4 Massacre in 1989 and to strive for the early realization of human rights and democracy in China. (The address of the Chinese Embassy in Washington DC is: 3505 International Pl NW, Washington, DC 20008, USA. There is meter parking on the roadside of Van Ness by the embassy which is free during the weekend. There is also a parking garage across Van Ness on the north side of the road.) The IFCSS welcomes the public to participate and organizations that support democracy and freedom in China to co-sponsor our event as well.
IFCSS Council also passed a resolution to support the bill passed by the US congress of naming the street in front of Chinese Embassy as "Liu Xioabo Plaza" and to make efforts to help realize such an end.
The "IFCSS Spirit of Freedom Award" was established by an IFCSS Council resolution in 2001. It aims to recognize and celebrate Chinese citizens who are not afraid of authoritarian terror and contemptuous of totalitarian violence, who have the spirit to call for freedom with conscience, sacrificing even their lives. The "Spirit of Freedom Award" has always been open to accept nominations from the whole community. The nominees and winners should be residing in China. The Award amount is $1,000 annually.
Since the "Spirit of Freedom Award" was awarded for the first time in 2001 to Mr. Song Zhongqiu, who was at the end of his life with terminal cancer yet raised his voice and publicly announced quitting the Communist Party, the IFCSS has been announcing the awardees during its June 4 commemoration every year. Other awardees include:
