Occupy Central with Love and Peace

Occupy Central with Love and Peace was a peaceful protest movement in Hong Kong starting in 2013, advocating for genuine democratic reforms. Participants aimed to press the government to allow residents to elect their leaders fairly, without restrictions from Beijing. The movement involved large-scale sit-ins and civil disobedience, emphasizing non-violent methods rooted in love and mutual understanding. It sought to inspire dialogue and change within the framework of peaceful activism, ultimately influencing subsequent protests and shaping Hong Kong’s political landscape during the socio-political upheaval of 2014.
