Friend, 

When I was 14, I faced tear gas and pepper spray while fighting for my home.

You see, I grew up in a city owned by a country I don’t belong to.
 

Hong Kong is a city that was once free.
 

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) imposed a national security law that cracked down on political activism in Hong Kong. Offenders could face penalties of up to life in prison.

With my record of activism and participating in protests, I only had two options:

1. Wait for the CCP to knock down my door and arrest me.
2. Or leave my home and continue the fight.
    

Now, I am the first Hong Kong activist to receive political asylum in America.

My name is Frances Hui — former journalist, director of We The Hongkongers, and speaker with the Dissident Project.

The Dissident Project provides high schools with access to informed, intelligent perspectives from speakers who have lived under current and former socialist states worldwide.

The American media doesn't like to talk about China.
But I'm not afraid to share my story. That’s why I am asking for your help to educate 10,000 students about the tyranny in China. 

Can you help me connect with these students by sending a gift of $10, $35, $50, or any amount today? Click here to send your support  >>>

This is just a small part of my story and what I want to share with 10,000 students.
 

China is the 21st-century version of totalitarianism. And the CCP’s takeover of Hong Kong has left no part of our lives untouched. They are turning Hong Kong into China.

The Chinese Communist Party has done its best to silence any news of opposition. 

This is why the Dissident Project is so valuable. It might be the only time these high school students get to hear the truth about how life in Hong Kong has radically changed since being under the thumb of the CCP.
 

I want to share my story with students across America. 
 

Will you help me reach more high school students with my story? Your generous gift helps me travel to high schools across the country. Please donate by clicking here >>>

Let me share how the Dissident Project works:

Dissident Project speakers come from countries like Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea, and China.

We undergo a rigorous audition and training process. There we learn to communicate our experiences in a powerful but compassionate way. 

Topics like this can be tough for students to understand, but we have learned how to address students and have mastered the art of covering difficult and complex issues for young audiences. 

The Dissident Project is a not-for-profit endeavor. We don’t charge schools for access to our speakers, so their testimonies are more accessible to all. 

But to keep our services completely free, we rely on the generosity of our donors. Will you chip in today and support the Dissident Project?
