In the end, 775 people cast a vote, and the winner was . . . the Australia-Tibet Council! Congratulations to the ATC on their win, and thanks to all our fantastic users who took part!

In case you don't know much about the ATC, here's some information from their website:

Australia Tibet Council (ATC) works to promote the human rights and democratic freedoms of the Tibetan people. ATC is an independent, non-profit Australian organisation funded solely by members and supporters.

ATC undertakes a range of campaigns and advocacy work including promoting support for negotiations between the Dalai Lama and the Chinese government to reach a just resolution to the Tibet situation; promotion of religious and cultural freedom and human rights, particularly in the case of Tibetan political prisoners; and the protection of the Tibetan environment and the prevention of the inappropriate exploitation of Tibetan resources.

ATC works to achieve the United Nations resolution 1723 of 1961 calling for “the cessation of practices which deprive the Tibetan people of their fundamental human rights and freedoms, including their right to self-determination”.

It does this by raising awareness of the situation in Tibet at all levels of Australian society, by encouraging government and community leaders to take positive action, and by supporting appropriate Australian and international initiatives.

ATC believes that the resolution of the Tibet/China conflict, through non-violent means, would be a significant step towards peace in the world.
