Community March (Chinese: 社區前進) was a district-based political group formed in late 2017 in Hong Kong by a group of pro-democracy social activists.

History

[edit | edit source]

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] after their unsuccessful first attempt in Tai Nan by-election.[2] All 5 of its candidates were elected in the pro-democracy landslide victory, became the largest party in the Yau Tsim Mong District Council.[2]

The group announced their disbandment on 8 September 2021.[2]
