DC4HK - Washingtonians Supporting Hong Kong 😷

In response to tonight’s sentencing of the #HK47, a rally will be held tomorrow (11/19, Tuesday) at 4 pm at the House Triangle. Members of Congress will be in attendance. We strongly encourage Hong Kongers in the DMV area to show up in solidarity.

We will never forget the police brutality and how our people responded with courage and fearless resistance. #FreeHongKong 我地永遠都唔會忘記由六一二開始嘅警察暴力，更加唔會忘記香港人以勇氣回應打壓嘅精神。 #光復香港

Six years later, we rmb how the govt. reacted to peaceful protests w/ excessive police force, using tear gas, rubber bullets & bean bag rounds against unarmed HKers. 面對手無寸鐵嘅和平示威者，港共政府派遣上千名警察，以過度嘅暴力及催淚彈、橡膠子彈、散彈槍等不對等嘅武器攻擊群眾。

Six years ago, on June 12, 2019, tens of thousands of Hongkongers took to the streets to defend the home we cherish so deeply. 六年前嘅今日，數以萬計嘅香港人為咗守護我哋珍愛嘅屋企走上街頭，要求政府撤回「#送中惡法」。

We also call on residents of Maryland and New York to reach out to Senator Cardin and Leader Schumer, to voice your support for this legislation and urge them to bring it to a floor vote in the Senate. Letter template: call4hk.us/campaigns/hket… (3/x)

With less than a month remaining in the 118th Congress, we urge Senator Cardin and Leader Schumer to bring the HKETO Certification Act (H.R. 1103) to the Senate floor for a vote. This bill, which passed in the House with overwhelming support (413:3)should be passed ASAP. (2/x)

To @SenatorCardin @SenSchumer, Pass the #HKETOCertificationAct! Last week, representatives from DC4HK delivered letters signed by Hong Kong residents living in Maryland to express their support for an important bill at Senator Ben Cardin’s office. (1/x) #NoToHKETO

Some of my #photos from yesterday’s “Rally to Support Hong Kong 47” at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. held in response to #CCP/#CPC & #HKSARG illegitimate detention & sentencing of #HongKong pro-#democracy #PoliticalPrisoners. #HK47 #FreeHK #FreeAllPoliticalPrisoners 1/4

We will not be silent in the face of tyranny. Stand with us @hk_watch @hkdc_us & @dc4_hk in support of the #HongKong47 and political prisoners in Hong Kong tomorrow (Nov 19) at 4pm on the House Triangle on #CapitolHill in #WashingtonDC ✊✊

As Congress verges on passing the #HKETOCertificationAct which could lead to the closure of HKETOs in the US, @vcmediaorg is sponsored by HKETO, taking money from the authoritarian HK gov’t cracking down on #HongKongers. We call on all US cultural institutions to say #NoToHKETO.

US residents, we need your help to close Hong Kong Economic & Trade Offices, the authoritarian regime's de facto embassy. The #HKETOCertificationAct's passed the House. Now urge your Senators to bring the bill to a vote with this easy-to-use template. call4hk.us/campaigns/hket…

We encouraged the public to write to their representatives to demand that the U.S. Senate pass H.R. 1103 the #HKETO Certification Act swiftly to hold the HKETOs accountable.

» #NoToHKETO Leaflet-Distribution « Today DC4HK and community members in the greater Washington area organized a leaflet distribution campaign in front of the HKETO in DuPont Circle to educate the public on their masked propaganda work. #DC4HK #NoToHKETO #FreeHongKong

On Oct 1, we call for you to join us for a leaflet distribution campaign to educate the public on HKETOs' masked propaganda work and write to their representatives to demand that the U.S. Senate pass the HKETO Certification Act swiftly to hold the entity accountable.

The Hong Kong Economic and Trade Offices (#HKETOs), including one in Washington D.C., have been instrumental in assisting the CCP carry out its surveillance against our community members.

»OCT 1 ACTION: HELP SHUT DOWN HKETO« The past few years, our community suffered from #TransnationalRepression orchestrated by the 🇨🇳 & 🇭🇰 governments in forms of physical attacks, online harassment, and beyond.

On the fifth anniversary of the Aug. 31 incident — when the #HongKong police indiscriminately attacked passengers at Prince Edward M.T.R. station — I’m heartened to join over 800 people for a protest from Trafalgar Square to the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office. Never forget.

#HongKongers at the @VoCommunism #June4 candlelight vigil in Washington, DC. A time for us to gather & gain strength in community. Finished with a rousing rendition of #GloryToHongKong/#願榮光歸香港. #六四35 #TiananmenMassacre #GoddessOfDemocracy #LiberateHongKong Photo: @dc4_hk
