The FoFG Campus Chapter Letter of Commitment

Sec 1: Conduct

The goal of FoFG is to raise awareness of Falun Gong and the persecution in China, and bring an end to the inhumane practices of systematic torture and abuse, including forced organ harvesting. We ask that you exercise creativity and good judgment in planning and carrying out activities.

FoFG Chapters are NOT to collect donations from general public. You can get funds from college/university. You can also apply for funds from FoFG headquarter for specific activities.

FoFG Chapters should be inclusive environments accepting of all members regardless of age, race, creed, gender, sexual orientation, and background.

While representing Friends of Falun Gong, members shall conduct themselves in a dignified and respectful manner.
Follow the rules of college/university.

A note on the meditation practice

While some Friends of Falun Gong members learn Falun Gong exercises and have gained a better understanding of Falun Gong. Club members don’t have the obligation to learn or teach the Falun Gong exercises. We encourage club members and officers to refer those interested in the practice to local practice site for instruction. You may find local contacts on this page: http://en.falundafa.org/falun-dafa-global-contacts.html
