Proclamation from Mayor Jeffrey Mims, Jr. of the City of Dayton, Ohio

The proclamation reads, “On May 13, 2024, Ohio Falun Dafa practitioners and supporters will celebrate World Falun Dafa Day.”

“Falun Dafa is a holistic practice for improving mind and body involving slow-moving qigong exercises and adherence to the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance.”

“Volunteers in Ohio have been actively involved in the community, providing Falun Dafa exercise instruction and cultural awareness at numerous community events.”

“Practitioners of Falun Dafa in Ohio cherish the freedom of belief, while in China their counterparts have continued to peacefully stand up for freedom in the face of brutal persecution under the communist regime’s repression since 1999.”
