On June 9, 2019, over 1 million people in Hong Kong gathered to protest against an extradition bill proposed by our government, which is a controversial bill in favor of the authoritarian Communist Party of China. Today, the city is now under constant threat of deteriorating freedom and violation of human rights. More than 12,000 people have been arrested. 

As a community of Hongkongers living in Germany, we share the worries and sobs with those living in our home town. With the mission to support the democratic movement, Germany Stands with Hong Kong has been evolved organically from the community and has grown to be one of the most important organisers of Hong Kong themed events in Germany. 

Our goal is to raise awareness and to support the ongoing democratic movement in Hong Kong. The group has no leader nor political background. All of us have gathered for one shared belief 

— Hong Kong is a place we call Home.
