The Service Centers for Quitting the Chinese Communist Party in many cities around the globe will be celebrating the 20 million withdrawals from the Chinese Communist Party and its related organizations this Saturday, March 24. This is an event that is shaking the world, but even more so, the higher ranks of the Chinese Communist Party.

This tidal wave of withdrawals from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was initiated by the publication of The Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party by The Epoch Times on Nov. 18, 2004. These nine editorials expose the true history and nature of the Chinese Communist Party in a comprehensive historical analysis. The Nine Commentaries have opened the hearts and minds of Chinese people and Westerners alike, beginning the process of freeing them from the oppression and falsehoods the CCP has depended on for so long.

The wave of resignations around China started a little over two years ago and has proven that the Chinese people now dare to envision a new China. This eagerness to resign from the Party has led many Chinese people to successfully break through the CCP's information blockade and formally quit the Party on official websites such as The Epoch Times ( declaration.epochtimes.com ), the Service Center for Quitting the Chinese Communist Party, and Sound of Hope Network. They also send their withdrawals via telephone, fax, and emails, while many have gone so far as placing their resignations on bulletin boards, license plates, telephone poles, and advertisement columns throughout China.

Alex Ma, director of the Northern California Service Center for Quitting the CCP, said to The Epoch Times : "This celebration of the 20 million Chinese people that have publicly announced their withdrawals from the CCP is a worldwide event, and SF is just one of the cities celebrating it. Among a few of the other cities simultaneously celebrating this event are New York, Washington DC, Hong Kong, Chicago, Los Angeles, and different cities in Australia, Canada, Europe and Taiwan."

On March 24, in San Francisco alone, there will be two rallies celebrating the 20 million withdrawals from the CCP and its related organizations. The first one is to be held at Union Square from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., followed by a sidewalk march to Portsmouth Square in Chinatown where attendants will join the second rally which runs from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Ma also explained the system by which they track the number of people resigning from the party stating that, "to protect the lives of the people who want to resign from the CCP in China, we allow them to use an alias. They are provided with an ID number to identify themselves and they can write their declaration resigning from the CCP on the official websites. Quitting the CCP is a big thing now in China and many people are talking about it. Some people don't believe that the large number could be accurate, but after verifying the efficiency of the system and that it is true, they become very pleased."

Speakers from different walks of life and from political and non-political affiliations will join together in Saturday's rally. Abraham Thompson, the host of the rally at Union Square stated to The Epoch Times : "This is an historic milestone in Chinese history, when the people of China are finally freeing themselves from Chinese communist tyranny. This shows that the foundation and sustainability of the Chinese Communist Party has been destroyed."
