Help the people of Lebanon win their independence
Support pro-democracy demonstrators in Beirut’s “tent city” and keep attention on Lebanon’s struggle for freedom.
Lebanon is at an historic crossroads. It has been under foreign occupation for more than a generation. But, as the result of pro-democracy demonstrations in Beirut, free elections and independence are now within Lebanon’s reach. The focal point of these demonstrations is a “tent city” where pro-democracy demonstrators representing many different religions and political groups have united to form a permanent presence until Lebanon wins its independence.
The tent city demonstrators keep the pressure on for political change, and they maintain world attention on the struggle for Lebanese independence. Your donation will support a new free and democratic Lebanon.
