The Social Welfare sector organised a rally at 3pm in Central Edinburgh Place on 15 December 2019. The aim
is to convene a 3-day strike from the coming Tuesday to Thursday, as a strike committee has been set up earlier.
Through this strike, they hope to raise the attention of other sectors and industries and expect a response from the government regarding the Five Demands.
With the Letter of No Objection from the Police, the Sunday rally was attended by social workers, representatives from grass-roots groups, parents and children. Participants also wrote Christmas cards for people who were arrested in the pro-democracy movement.

Artwork Showing Citizens' Wishes at the Venue
At Edinburg place, Central, where the "Social Welfare Sector: Humanitarian Crisis Assembly" was held, hand-made yellow helmets covered much of the venue. Participants wrote down their wishes and demands on the helmets, while others continue to write Christmas cards to imprisoned protestors. A yellow Lennon wall was built, made by patchwork quilts, forming a delightful contrast to the helmets surrounding it.

Social Welfare Sector Stands In Solidarity In Support of Movement
2030 | The “Social Welfare Sector: Humanitarian Crisis Assembly” was held at 1900 at Edinburg place, Central today #17Dec, as part of a series of rallies and strike by the social welfare sector this week
One of the speakers on the assembly was Sonia Ng, who was remanded in custody and is now a vocal figure against police’s sexual violence at San Uk Ling Holding Centre. “Hong Kong girls are now much stronger than ever before,” She encouraged Hongkongers. She listed a few examples, like Hong Kong girls know how to distinguish different kinds of respiratory masks, and they are talking like truck drivers when they are assisting frontliners or fighting on the frontline. She emphasized that the Revolution is reconnecting Hongkongers, as well as her fiancé and her – they are getting married next year. People congratulated and cheered for her.
