Friend,
I grew up in Hong Kong, a city that was once free. When I was 14, I got involved in social movements as a student in Hong Kong.
Then the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) cracked down and started stealing our freedom.
The 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.
Friend, the CCP is the ultimate surveillance state. They are known for silencing the opposition, human rights abuses, and persecuting people for their religion.
Their takeover of Hong Kong left no family, town, or life untouched.
My name is Frances Hui, a speaker with the Dissident Project and the first Hong Kong activist to receive political asylum in America.
The Dissident Project provides high schools with access to informed, intelligent perspectives from speakers who have lived under current and former socialist states worldwide.
And I’ve set a goal to raise $15,000 this month to support our work as we reach thousands of students with the true horrors of communism.
Friend, will you with a gift of $10, $35, $50, or any amount? Click here to send your gift >>>
The Dissident Project hosts speakers from Hong Kong, North Korea, Eritrea,
and Venezuela with unique stories that high schoolers need to hear.
We undergo a rigorous audition and training process. There we learn to communicate our experiences in a powerful but compassionate way.
And our speakers are in high demand!
Our dissidents have already completed over 20 speeches across the country, with four upcoming speeches on the books.
We’re gearing up for a busy spring, which is why I’m emailing you today.
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 people like you.
Will you chip in today and support the Dissident Project?

I want to share my story with students across America.
This 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.
Students should be thankful that they live in a country that protects our freedoms – the right to free speech, protest, and gather together to share ideas.
But these freedoms are often taken for granted.
American students need to understand how dangerous communism is to the freedoms we hold dear. Our experiences remind them how easily they can lose their freedom and how hard it is to try and get it back when it's gone.
Your generous gift will give high school students a lesson they will carry with them for a lifetime.
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 >>>
Thank you,
Frances Hui
