We, the undersigned support the right of Hong Kong citizens to decide who they want to vote for Chief Executive rather than just have a choice of candidates who are vetted and approved by Beijing We strongly condemned the Hong Kong police, (who are under the direct orders of HKSAR government): use of: tear gas, pepper spray, batons against the protesting students and the public who only had towels, cling film and umbrellas to protect them. We support Hong Kong teachers and other workers, who are taking strike action against police brutality and for the right for Hong Kong citizens to choose their own candidates. 我们签名支持香港市民自决权：选举特首需要人民自我决定，而不是在北京钦定的人选里做出选择! 我们强烈谴责直接听命于特区政府的香港警察使用催泪瓦斯，喷雾胡椒, 警棍暴力驱散只有毛巾，保鲜膜，雨伞保护自己的学生和示威民众! 我们声援香港教师和工人因反对警察暴力而采取的罢工行动!香港人民，命运自主!
