International Action

International Action

International Action is a small, non-violent, political group in Hong Kong campaigning a range of issues including social justice, human rights and democracy. The group was founded in 2004 and is made up of expatriate permanent residents and locals. Their website [http://www.thebiggerpicture.hk] claims that they "represent the new breed of foreigners who are here [in Hong Kong] without the expatriate perks", however, they invite anyone to join them. The group is committed to non-violence. The group uses a mixed strategy of campaigning both in public and behind the scenes.

Beliefs and Approach

The group's website states that it believes the democratic movement in Hong Kong needs to change it's strategy to be more effective in the fight for real power for the people. It says the democratic camp should consider using tactics that are right for the cultural, social and political situation of Hong Kong in 2008.
