This group, like the Hong Kong protesters, opposes fascism, police brutality and state oppression wherever it arises. We stand with movements such as Black Lives Matter to achieve our mutual aims.
As in Hong Kong, we will resist the attempts to dismiss such protests as riots and protesters as outsiders or motivated by personal gain.
To the braves, the students, and all supporters young and old, worldwide, ga yau!

"Abolition is rooted in a black radical tradition in which the word is used precisely because it echoes the fight for the abolition of slavery, because it calls attention to the roots of policing and prisons in controlling enslaved people. Like ‘reparations’, the demand is considered ‘too much’ by the pundit class in part because it makes white people consider their implication in a racist system, even as it makes concrete gains."
