One month after police fired 87 rounds of tear gas at peaceful protestors across Hong Kong, all across the territory Hongkongers, at the exact moment the first round was fired, opened umbrellas for 87 seconds to decry the use of violence by the police.

A Letter to Hong Kong’s Parents: Why We’re Arguing With You

Often when I ask a student at one of the protest sites “What do your parents think?” the answer is “They don’t know I’m here.” Why are students not telling their parents, one reason is that they don’t want them to worry. Another is articulated here by Cherish and illustrated by @jasonli. The original letter was published in Chinese here www.inmediahk.net/node/1027439

Umbrella Movement Poll – Vote Adjourned

The Hong Kong Federation of Students, Scholarism, Occupy Central with Love and Peace, Pan-democracy Legislators and other representatives of the Umbrella Movement announced the decision to adjourn the poll in the Umbrella Square late afternoon on the 26 October, 2014. The reasons for the adjournment were outlined in a brief joint statement. Beyond doubts behind the questions and aims of the poll, amid voter confusion that the poll was about ending the current protests. There were also worries that the wifi vote system would be unable to handle the numbers of intending voters.

Joint Statement: Adjournment of First Poll in Umbrella Square

In view of the different opinions regarding the format, motions and effectiveness of the first poll that was scheduled on 26th and 27th October in Umbrella Square, we have decided to adjourn the poll after thorough discussions and careful consideration. We believe a mass movement should act according to the will of the people and we apologize to the public for the lack of discussion among the participants before making the previous decision. Still, we call for citizens to go to the three occupied areas today to exchange ideas on the future directions of the movement and how we can gather and consolidate the opinions of the supporters in order to strive for genuine universal suffrage together.
