The “Stop Buying Goods from China” campaign was one of the earliest organized Tibetan-American advocacy efforts in New York, gathering volunteers and signatures through the early 1990s in front of Chinese consulate buildings, at community centers, and on the sidewalks of Lower Manhattan. The Tibetan community in New York at this time was small enough that most of the people doing this work knew each other by name; this photograph holds a moment from that period.
Date and identification of the people pictured pending confirmation with the photographer.
