The resolution proclaimed that theTownship Council of Parsippany-Troy Hills fully supports those who follow the peaceful example of Falun Gong practitioners.

In his speech, a representative of the Falun Dafa practitioners expressed their appreciation for the City Council's actions of upholding justice and condemning the evil. When the Vice Chairman of the council learned that practitioners would introduce Dafa to local residents, he at once called the city library and made an arrangement for practitioners to hold seminars there.
