“Stories of Us..." 616 5th Anniversary of the Revolution of our Times Street Booth
During the 612 rally, we shared letters from our brothers and sisters and their families. Everyone was deeply touched by the memories and emotions in those letters.
Memories can be conveyed, and emotions can spread. When locals hear news about Hong Kong, it's often just facts and numbers. They might not have the opportunity to experience these heartfelt emotions. We want to send them a message: over the five years, our brothers and sister have been sacrificing their future to fight against tyranny, this push us forward to speak up for Hong Kong.
We sincerely invite you to come to Briggate at 1 PM this Sunday to participate in this street booth, to bring "Stories of Us..." and our emotion to the locals.
See you on Sunday.
- Date: 16/6/2024
- Time: 1 PM to 3 PM
- Location: Briggate, outside Santander Bank (LS1 6AL)
- Feel free to bring your own props.

五年前，相信大家都有參加喺香港史上最大規模嘅遊行。但係並唔係世界各地嘅人都知道係乜嘢迫使香港人要走上街頭。
列斯手足連線趁住尋日係2,000,000+1遊行嘅五周年紀念，喺列斯市中心透過由細葉榕人道支援基金募集返嚟嘅手足書信，話畀本地人聽到底香港而家嘅政治環境係幾咁惡劣，有幾多手足正在受苦？
令人感動嘅係，喺聽完「我們的故事…」後，有啲甚至之前係未聽過香港嘅抗爭嘅本地人都紛紛表示支持同體恤香港抗爭者，更加想幫助香港人。今次我哋喺街頭嘗試主動向本地人募捐，總共籌得£104.7畀細葉榕。數目雖然唔多，但有好多都係由本地人去捐獻，佢哋嘅支持實在難能可貴。我哋更嘗試邀請佢哋同光時旗合照以表示支持，好多人亦都樂意同我哋合照。
五年過去，相信大家都認同喺香港本土嘅抗爭已經係舉步維艱。我哋要更加努力去團結所有支持民主自由，對抗強權嘅盟友。一日嘅街站能夠接觸嘅人唔多。懇請喺英國嘅香港人，除咗紀念五年前發生過嘅事之外，更要思考點樣做先可以光復到香港。而我哋認為最最最重要嘅第一步就係將香港嘅事分享畀身邊嘅人知道，以尋求更多嘅支持。我哋深信，當有越多人去支持，成功光復香港嘅機會就越大。
願
香港人能團結喺抗爭路上走落去，直至我哋攞返我哋家園-香港。
光復香港
時代革命

Five years ago, we, as HongKongers, took to the streets alongside two million others in the largest demonstration in Hong Kong's history. Despite significant media coverage, not everyone around the world fully understands why we did this.
Yesterday, on the fifth anniversary of this massive demonstration, HongKongers in Leeds gathered to commemorate the event. We read aloud letters from the families of Hong Kong political prisoners, sharing their words and their pain. This powerful act of remembrance drew the attention of passers-by, who expressed their support and found the situation in Hong Kong heart-breaking. Their empathy translated into action, and we received £104.7 in donations for BonhamTree Aid, a registered organisation supporting political prisoners and their family. While this may not seem like a large sum, every pound is a testament to the support shown, and for that, we thank you deeply from the bottom of our hearts.
Five years have passed, and life has not been easy. Fighting for what we believe in is even harder, but we must remain hopeful. We need to find more allies by telling our friends and neighbours about what is happening in Hong Kong and standing in solidarity with all people who fight for freedom and democracy. We need to keep thinking about how to liberate Hong Kong and believe that we can.
Hope is our guiding light, and with it, we can stand together in solidarity and keep going until we can reclaim our homeland.
Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of Our Times.

7月1號，對於香港人絕對唔係咩回歸喜慶，而係見證住香港一步一步走向衰落嘅日子。
自2003年起，每年71遊行都係香港人向政權高呼民主自由嘅吶喊。縱然每年參加者都有不同訴求，但普選立法會及行政長官都一直是主軸。
//是你教會我們，和平示威是沒有用的。//
2019年反逃犯修訂條例嘅運動，香港人終於忍無可忍。經過幾次嘅百萬人大遊行，612嘅立法會集會阻止二讀，換嚟嘅都係警察嘅粗暴對待，政府嘅不聞不問。香港人終於喺2019年7月1號衝入立法會，宣告《香港人抗爭宣言》。
但政權沒有一絲反思，沒有一絲悔意。於2020年6月30號開始實施國安法，71再次成為淪陷嘅代名詞。
持續嘅警暴，有良知嘅人都睇唔過眼。義士梁健輝先生於2021年7月1號以犧牲自己性命去報復警暴。71 與香港人反抗畫上等號。
今日7月1號，人民不會忘記。
債終有一日要償！

July 1st is definitely not a celebration for Hongkongers, but a day that marks the fall of Hong Kong.
Since 2003, the annual July 1st march has been a way for Hongkongers to demand democracy and freedom. Although we may have different demands each year, universal suffrage for the Legislative Council and the Chief Executive has always been the core issue.
//You taught us that peaceful protests are useless.//
In 2019, during the Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill Movement, Hongkongers finally reached our breaking point. Despite several million-strong marches and the June 12th Legislative Council protest to block the second reading, what we got in return was police brutality and government indifference. On July 1st, 2019, Hongkongers stormed the Legislative Council to declare the "Hongkongers’ Manifesto."
But the regime showed no reflection, no remorse. On June 30th, 2020, the National Security Law was implemented, and July 1st became a symbol of downfall once again.
The continuous police brutality is unbearable for those with a conscience. On July 1st, 2021, Mr. Leung Kin-fai sacrificed his life to retaliate against police brutality. July 1st once again became synonymous with Hongkongers’ resistance.
Today, on July 1st, people will not forget. We will never forgive those who harmed our brothers and sisters!
