Online-Austausch zwischen Aktivisten von BLM und der hongkonger Bewegung: "Hongkongers will have a chance to learn about and support the current protests and struggle for Black liberation from activists, while Hong Kong organizers will share some updates on their own fight."

Webinar am 13.6.16°° "Black Liberation and Hong Kong"

The murder of George Floyd in May at the hands of the Minneapolis  police has sparked a global uprising and re-centered the movement for  Black lives in the U.S. Meanwhile, the Chinese government has tightened  its hold on the Hong Kong people with the imposition of national  security laws, setting off a new wave of mass protests. These  mobilizations against state violence, though varied in social and  political contexts, are taking place amongst a surge of new movements  across the world. How can we exchange notes for the continued struggle  to build a global mass movement against state violence on the ground?

Join Lausan Collective and Borderless Movement for a webinar bringing  together activists from Hong Kong, Seattle, and North Carolina for an  organizers’ exchange.

Participants will discuss unions, abolitionism, and other topics.  Hongkongers will have a chance to learn about and support the current  protests and struggle for Black liberation from activists, while Hong  Kong organizers will share some updates on their own fight.

Speakers include:

  • Jerrell Davis, Black organizer and cultural worker of Decriminalize Seattle and No New Youth Jail
  • Maya, member of Take Action Chapel Hill in North Carolina
  • Tony Wong, member of Hong Kong left-wing publication The Owl
  • Leo Tang, organizing secretary of Hong Kong Confederation of Trade Unions (HKCTU)
