Several prominent Hong Kong democracy activists have turned to the United States and Taiwan to seek international support for the ongoing protests in their hometown.

On Sept. 3, Hong Kong’s Civic Party announced on its Facebook page that five of its lawmakers—Alvin Yeung, Kwok Ka-ki, Dennis Kwok, Tanya Chan, and Jeremy Tam—have jointly signed a letter to U.S. lawmakers urging them to swiftly pass the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act of 2019.
