On Saturday, September 1, 2001, practitioners from Virginia and Maryland participated in a large scale South American event near Washington D.C. that was primarily held in Spanish. It was a good opportunity for spreading and rectifying the Fa. They set up display boards, demonstrated the exercises, and distributed fliers of the truth of Dafa to almost every person in attendance. People all came to sign petitions calling for an end to the persecution in China after learning about the situation.

In spite of the interference--several times power failures occurred in the city that afternoon-- practitioners kept sending righteous thoughts all the time so they were able to do the demo performance as scheduled, while all the other groups' activities were cancelled.
