2019年6月9日以来,由于香港政府強行推动送中法案,香港市民多次发起大规模集会游行,团结一致,抗拒恶法,捍卫香港的法治、民主和自由,备受全球瞩目。在警方进行强力镇压的情况下,广大香港市民坚持英勇抗争,成功地阻止了恶法在立法会通过。但是港府漠视民意,至今未正面回应超百万反送中示威者的五大诉求:完全撤回送中法案;撤销以“暴动”定性示威;成立独立委员会调查警察暴力;释放被捕示威者;实现双普选。数次大游行中,多位示威者甚至记者被打伤,血染街头,多人被拘捕,甚至被控“暴动罪”。示威者和普通市民遭受越来越激烈的暴力威胁,如白衣人在元朗持凶施暴、袭击者在天水围警署外驾车向人群投掷烟花。自从6月12日警方在金钟使用橡皮子弹、布袋弹和催泪弹镇压和平表达诉求的示威民众、引发流血事件以来,已有四位青年以死抗议,以宝贵的年轻生命对中共撕毁“一国两制、港人治港、高度自治”承诺发出了最后的血泪控诉。
香港各界民众不屈不挠努力争取的,是本应属于他们的自由和权利。香港的抗争,是全球反对专制扩张的前沿,因而得到世界上所有热爱自由、认同普世价值的人们的敬重和支持。
我们向关心所有香港、爱护香港的人士呼吁,请慷慨解囊,捐款为受伤、被捕、牺牲的香港市民提供人道支援,以实际行动支持香港人这场伟大的正义抗争。
人道中国将与香港有公信力的民间组织合作,专项募捐将主要通过包括“612人道支援基金”等在香港进行人道救助,如有需要,也可以在美国帮助安置有关受害者。我们将就公开募捐进展情况定期更新。无论这次募捐总额多少,人道中国将至少向香港提供十万港币捐助。
人道中国是一家位于美国加利福尼亚州的注册非盈利机构,由北京和海外的八九民运参与者创立于2007年。我们所有的工作人员均为义工,所有募集的捐款全部用于资助中国的政治受难者,近年来每年资助百位以上良心犯。
您可以选择用支票、信用卡、Venmo等方法捐款(美国捐款可以扣税,EIN 30-0413217),请注明“香港” 或“Hong Kong”。办法详见: http://h-china.org/donation/ 衷心感谢您的支持!

=== Humanitarian China fundraising appeal: Supporting humanitarian aid in Hong Kong === Hong Kong’s massive protest movement has attracted the whole world’s attention. Since 9 June 2019, citizens in Hong Kong have been holding huge rallies and demonstrations, opposing extradition to China and defending the rule of law, democracy and freedom. Undeterred by heavy-handed police suppression, brave Hong Kongers take to the streets again and again, successfully halting the extradition bill. However, the Hong Kong government still ignores public opinion and has not fully responded to the five main demands of the demonstrators: a full withdrawal of the extradition bill; a retraction of the characterization of the movement as a “riot,” a retraction of the charges against anti-extradition protesters, the establishment of an independent committee to investigate the Hong Kong Police Force’s use of force, and the implementation of universal suffrage for the chief executive officer role and Hong Kong’s legislature. During the weeks of protests, a large number of demonstrators and even some journalists have been injured; many have been arrested, with some charged with “rioting.” Protesters and ordinary citizens have been subjected to increasing violence. For instance, men in white shirts brutally attacked protesters and passers-by in Yuen Long; fireworks were shot from a moving car into a crowd of protesters outside the Tin Shui Wai police station. Since police fired rubber bullets, bean bag rounds and tear gas into peaceful demonstrators and caused bloody clashes on June 12, four young people have fallen to their deaths, making their final, bloody protests against China’s Communist regime, who has broken its promise of a high degree of autonomy for Hong Kong and allowing Hong Kong to maintain its own governing system under the “one country, two systems” principle. People from all walks of life in Hong Kong have been tirelessly fighting for the freedoms and rights that they rightfully deserve. The people of Hong Kong are on the frontline of a global battle against growing authoritarianism. Their unwavering spirit of resistance has won the admiration and support of all freedom-loving people in the world who uphold universal values. We are launching an appeal to raise funds for humanitarian aid for injured, arrested or martyred Hong Kong citizens. Would you give generously out of your love and care for Hong Kong? By donating, you will be effectively assisting the people of Hong Kong in fighting the good fight of democracy. Humanitarian China will work in partnership with credible civil society organizations in Hong Kong. This appeal aims at providing humanitarian aid in Hong Kong, mainly through funds such as “612 Humanitarian Relief Fund,” and can potentially be used for victims’ resettlement in the US, if necessary. We will keep you updated on our progress with this publicfundraising appeal. Regardless of the total amount raised through this appeal, Humanitarian China will provide at least HK$100,000 in donations to Hong Kong. Founded by participants in the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests from Beijing and overseas in 2007, Humanitarian China is a registered non-profit charity in California. All its staff members are volunteers; all funds raised are used to help victims of political persecution in China. In recent years, Humanitarian China has been providing small relief funds to more than 100 struggling prisoners of conscience and their families every year. You can choose to send us a check, credit card or Venmo donation. If you are giving from the US, your donation is fully tax-deductible (EIN 30-0413217). Please indicate “Hong Kong”.
