The Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements in China (the Alliance) (Chinese: 香港市民支援愛國民主運動聯合會 [, ] or 支聯會) is a pro-democratic organization that was established on May 21, 1989 in the then British colony of Hong Kong during the demonstration for the students protest in Tiananmen Square in Beijing. The aims of the organization are supporting patriotic democratic movements in China, putting an end to the current one-party dictatorship established by the Communist Party of China, and building a democratic China. It has become the largest grassroots pro-democracy advocacy group in Hong Kong, comprising over 200 base-level members from labour, councillor offices, religious, students, women and political commentary interest groups. Every year, the Alliance holds "Vindicate June 4 and Relay the Torch" activity in Victoria Park. According to the organizers, the 20th anniversary commemorations in Victoria Park, Hong Kong, held on June 4, 2009 was attended by over 150,000 people.[1]
