Dear friend,

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) routinely violates the basic human rights of the Chinese people. Their decades of abuse are well documented, including systematically monitoring and destroying Christian churches.

Today, the CCP is detaining more than one million Uyghur Muslims in “re-education” camps, an atrocity seen in a viral video of these Chinese citizens being forced onto trains. In these concentration camps, communist party officials attempt to indoctrinate the Uyghur people detained into the ideological standard of Xi Jinping’s socialism.

Thankfully, this summer, Congress and the Trump administration stepped up the United States government’s response to the Chinese regime’s human rights atrocities. This increased effort includes applying Global Magnitsky Sanctions to top-ranking CCP officials for these abuses and religious freedom violations.

The ERLC, along with a broad coalition of human rights and religious freedom advocates, is advocating for the U.S. to counter China morally because of the CCP’s rising persecution of ethnic and religious minorities, including Christians.

If you're interested in learning more and getting involved, join the ERLC on August 21st at 1:00p - 2:00p ET for an important discussion. This webinar will cover the persecution of Uyghurs in China and ways pastors and Christians can get involved and help. Panelists include:

Ambassador Samuel D. Brownback, US Ambassador at Large for International Religious Freedom at the State Department
Dr. Russell D. Moore, President of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission
Travis Wussow, Vice President for Public Policy and General Counsel
Rushan Abbas, Founder and Executive Director of Campaign for Uyghurs

Sincerely,
