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.

“Some friends invited me to Christmas parties. That is the last thing I want to do,” Said Eye-Injured Indonesian Journalist
“Some friends invited me to Christmas parties. But that is the last thing I want to do,” said Veby Mega Indah, an associate editor of the Hong Kong Bahasa Indonesia newspaper SUARA whose right eye was injured by a non-lethal round fired by a police officer on #29Sept.
Coming into her third month after the incident, she revealed on her interview with Ming Pao last Tuesday (#17Dec) that she suffered from PTSD, “Some of my friends are puzzled, as they don’t know I got PTSD. They would ask 'What’s the matter with you? Why don’t you want to go out for some normal social activities?'”
