How we can help

There are various ways we can help Hong Kong from abroad:

⁠[US] A few options here: Urge your representatives to support the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act 2019 [H.R. 3289, S. 1838]. You can use this website to send a pre-composed letter. There is also the Protect Hong Kong act of 2019 [H.R. 4270] that you can ask your representatives to co-sponsor. Talk to your representatives. Find their contact through this website. ⁠[UK] Petition to the UK government to uphold the 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration. Link here. You can also write to your members of Parliament. Find out how. [Canada] Write an open letter condemning the Hong Kong government and demanding that the Canadian government sanction Hong Kong and propose concrete action to support protesters. [Australia] Quite a few options here: Join a petition to impose sanctions on people found to be suppressing human rights in Hong Kong. Petition the Australian House of Representative to bring the true condition of Hong Kong’s predicament to the United Nations Human Rights Council [Petition EN1029]. Petition Australia to add Human Rights clauses to the Australia - Hong Kong Free Trade Agreement [Petition E1032] You can also just write to your senators and members of Parliament. [New Zealand] Write to your members of Parliament. [Everywhere] A few small things that anyone can do, regardless of country Here is a list of companies that have bowed to China’s various censorship demands, over Hong Kong and other issues. Do what you will with that information. (More on this at r/BoycottChina) You can write a message to the government of Hong Kong through Amnesty International. It’s only a small gesture, but quick and easy to do. Petition the United Nations to condemn Hong Kong Police for excessive use of force and call for an independent inquiry. Request the International Court of Justice to investigate use of excessive force by the Hong Kong Police. If your country isn't on this list, it may be in this post! I only added certain countries to keep the comment more condensed.

This is an example of when your involvement has helped the people of Hong Kong.

We really appreciate your help!
