The Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements in China, Chinese: 香港市民支援愛國民主運動聯合會 [ Mandarin , Cantonese ] or 支聯會. is a pro-Chinese democratic organization that was established on 21 May 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 annual memorials for the Tiananmen Square protests in Victoria Park.
