From Vietnam and 14 other countries around the world, Vietnamese youths convened at the Sixth International Vietnamese Youth Conference in Manila, Philippines from August 4-7, 2011 under the theme "Access Now: Digital Activism for Social Change" At this conference, we affirm that:
In Vietnam, students, democracy activists and people in general have gathered openly and spoken out publicly for the country's territorial sovereignty. From digital activism, many have joined in offline, social activism. This is an important achievement when repression, intimidation and arrests cannot halt the forward movement of the democratic tide. The Len Duong Youth Network will continue to utilize digital medium to empower people in Vietnam and advocate for the interests of the country. This is the responsibility of every Vietnamese to the fatherland and future generations. Vietnamese Youths, together, we Must Speak Up! Adopted in Manila, Philippines, August 7, 2011 |
