Falun Gong practitioners distribute fliers and clarify the truth of the persecution at a Live8 concert site in Philadelphia

Philadelphia was the only U.S. city selected to host a Live8 concert. In response to the practitioners' noble effort of "Rescue Orphans of Chinese Falun Gong Practitioners," the organizers gave a very prominent booth site to practitioners for free. Falun Gong practitioners and members of Friends of Falun Gong from New York City, Washington DC and New Jersey joined local supporters of Falun Gong to clarify the truth to the one million people who came to Philadelphia for the concert.

Practitioners came to the site to set up at as early as 5am. Soon, streams of visitors came to the concert site. There were many booths that gave out all kinds of gifts for free such as T-shirts, drinks, etc.

However, many people came to the Falun Gong booth to sign the practitioners' petition, request materials and watch a video program about rescuing orphans of Chinese Falun Gong practitioners.

Many people with predestined relationships said: This [Falun Gong] is the treasure that I have been looking for. Where are the practice sites?

A German international student visited Mainland China last year. She asked a practitioner who once studied in Germany many questions about Falun Gong. The practitioner talked with her in German. The girl stayed a long time after she signed the petition calling for action to rescue the orphans of Chinese practitioners. Some visitors also said loudly: "Falun Dafa is Good!"
