U.S. Representative and member of the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) board of directors Joaquin Castro presented the 2024 Democracy Service Medal to Sikyong Penpa Tsering, President of the Central Tibetan Administration. “Tibet’s leaders, particularly those in the Tibetan government-in-exile have done remarkable work to keep hope alive among their countrymen.” Hear about the sikyong’s efforts to halt the erasure of Tibetan culture and identity. #DemocracyAwards
