Coca-Cola & Tibet

Lhadon Tethong, executive director of Students for a Free Tibet, has a great quote in a New York Times piece today about the pressure Tibetan support groups are placing on Coca-Cola regarding their sponsorship of the Olympic Torch Relay.

“We’re not asking Coke to solve Tibet’s problems,” Lhadon Tethong, the director of an organizing group called Students for a Free Tibet, told Mr. Isdell at the shareholder meeting on Wednesday. “We’re not asking you to do anything else but tell the I.O.C. this is not the time for the torch to go to Tibet.”

Ms. Tethong added, “You have influence, and you know you have influence. Please don’t hide behind a spin.”

You can take action and tell Coke to oppose the torch going through Tibet.
