Kelvin | Frontliner on why he is willing to sacrifice
“We never push with the intent to harm or kill the police. We just want to push them back so that the PRNs won’t be afraid of taking to the streets. I hope those two million people can once again come forward, even if they only help with passing supplies at the back. I promise that us frontliners will always stand in front of PRNs, so that if anything goes wrong, we will be at the front shielding you and making sure all the PRNs have retreated safely before leaving.” - Kelvin
Polly | Swiss graphic designer
I think people in my country don’t really understand how important Hongkongers’ fight is. As Switzerland is one of the most democratic countries in the world, freedom to us is like ‘air’, we are born with it - it is taken for granted. So I was wondering what I could do in an artistic way to help them understand. — Polly

Ted | Evolution of a protestor: resistance as an ‘occupation’ -"We must turn our grief into action.”
Regardless of my position as a PRE, part of a road-blocking team, or as a driver shuttling protestors around, I truly believe that each role has its own impact… You can never foresee how your actions today will spur the actions of other people in the future… We must turn our grief into action, so that we can bring about changes for Hong Kong, for our next generations, and for the sake of democracy and freedom.
