Hold up Your Umbrella, a song for Hong Kong Umbrella Movement
“ In this sea of people, we sat nervously. Fearing what would happen next. But on this night, I fear more that our voices are not heard. With all the courage I could muster, I’m here in the front line. Yet the nagging fear remains.
Together, let’s let’s hold up our umbrellas. Together, we may be uneasy, but we cannot be alone, right?”
Maybe you have never heard about what is umbrella movement, or even you don’t know where Hong Kong is. But I believe that everyone would agree to nonviolent civil disobedience.
Hong Kong university students and other volunteers occupied outside the government headquarter to start their nonviolent civil disobedience on Sep 28 to fight for universal suffrage. After a few hours later, Hong Kong police attempted to disperse the protesters with pepper spray, tear gas, and water sprays. In one night, police fired 87 canisters of tear gas at protesters who didn’t have any protection, except masks, goggles and an umbrella only.
Now, the movement is still continuing. But the situation is getting worse. The Hong Kong government and police hire gangsters and triad to damage protectors’ food and materials, beat protectors. Even worse, a female protector was sexual harassed by the counter-protesters. However, police didn’t stop attacks.
By this moment, we can’t stop the movement anymore until the government can listen our voice. It would be a long way to go. But your attention can be our supporting!
Please reblog and let more people know if you agree to nonviolent civil disobedience and “sexual harassment should not be tolerated.”
