Opportunity

This week's heartbeat is delivered with a heartfelt
thanks to everyone who steps up to speak with one voice.

The outcome is far from clear and the only certainty is
that there is a growing consolidation of people power.

Peaceful protests where thousands of people gather
with a common goal can only lead to positive change.

Once again, we have the attention of the world's media
and we have the opportunity to speak out for what we want.

Hong Kong is in a strong position to be seen as a world
model for peaceful political change in times of uncertainty.

How can you show your support for improvement?

Naturally,
