Mission & Interests
Goals: We are an independent, grassroots, crowdfunded advocacy group consisting of individuals who have come together to fight for freedom and democracy for Hong Kong. SWHK members come from all walks of life and are united by a shared vision. Following the promulgation of the National Security Law in June 2020 by the Chinese Communist Party, we are one of the only few remaining grassroots organisation representing the voice of Hongkongers operating in the United Kingdom, the United States, and the European Union.

Activities
Main EU Legislative Proposals: Potentially all EU policies and initiatives that are likely to have an impact on Hong Kong and the Hong Kong diaspora communities within the EU.
Communication Activities: SWHK EU ensures policymakers remain updated on key Hong Kong developments through a monthly newsletter distributed directly to the offices of numerous MEPs. Moreover, SWHK EU has engaged with various policymakers in individual EU member states including Sweden, Germany, and Lithuania, among others, pushing for lifeboat schemes, stricter trade policies, and de-risking from China, with a focus on Hong Kong and the national security law.
We have launched joint statements, such as the "Joint Statement Condemning Hong Kong Authorities and the Bounty on Hong Kong Activists in Exile", signed by 9 Hong Kong grassroots organisations, 5 MEPs, and 4 MPs, and contributed to parliamentary resolutions.
We have aided in organising Hong Kong-focused events such as a UK-Germany Parliamentary Exchange in Berlin, and an event in Brussels involving MEPs from numerous EU member states, communicating these events to the Hong Kong diaspora community in Europe for participation.
