Community March
Community March (Chinese: 社區前進) is a district-based political group formed in late 2017 in Hong Kong by a group of pro-democracy social activists. Initiated by former chairwoman of the Labour Party Suzanne Wu, the group was actively planning to field candidates in the 2019 District Council elections in Yau Tsim Mong and Sham Shui Po.[1] All 5 of its candidates were elected in the pro-democracy landslide victory.
