For more about ITASA.
- BST Petition Week
The Petition Drive to Bring Awareness of Taiwan's International Isolation intends to bring awareness to the U.C. Berkeley campus community of Taiwan's international isolation, and to specifically protest Taiwan's exclusion from the United Nations, the United States' "One-China policy," and the forced moniker of "Chinese-Taipei."
- Taiwanese-American Heritage Day
BST first held a series of activities to raise awareness of Taiwanese culture in the Spring of 2003. The event included an outdoor display, handouts about Taiwan's language and people, a giant boba cup, and a film night. Check out the information and photos.

Commemoration Week
We continue this great tradition that previous organizers have set. We have daytime museum displays of Taiwan's history and current issues on campus. At night time, we hold a speech, where we invite community leaders/members to speak on certain aspects of 228. Here is more information about the 228 tragedy from our press release as well as some photos.

Events during Spring 2001
Community forum with Taiwanese-American leaders in the Greater Bay Area
Eager to build a strong network and relationship with first generation Taiwanese-Americans, BST organized and convened a community forum between Bay Area 1st & 2nd generation leaders in the Taiwanese-American community to gain insight as to how the younger generations can help shape future U.S. policy towards Taiwan, and to continue the Taiwanese-American community's legacy of community organizing.
Special lecture: Wang Dan
As a democracy activist from the Tiananmen Square Incident, Wang Dan, a Ph.D. student in history at Harvard University, has earned recognition for his supportive stance as a Mainland Chinese democracy activist who recognizes self-determination for the Taiwanese people. BST taking the lead, in conjunction with other campus activist groups invited him to speak on his views on Taiwan-China relations, the prospects for democracy in China, and the possibility of dialogues between grassroots activists from both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
Fourth annual weeklong "2-28 Massacre" commemoration in Sproul Plaza
To remember the tens of thousands of Taiwanese that died during the massacres of 1947, BST continued BST's tradition of setting up commemorative museum-like displays in the central plaza of the Berkeley campus, and holding lecture/video nights to educate the general public about this tragic era in Taiwanese history. A music concert with Taiwanese-American opera singer Philip Wu as guest was also held. The commemoration activities also recount the terror and the injustice suffered by the Taiwanese during Martial Law rule by the Kuomintang/Republic of China regime.
