One year ago today, Lausan launched in order to amplify leftist voices from Hong Kong and to build solidarity with the international left. We hoped to add a critical, leftist analysis of Hong Kong to the global political landscape. Today we remain committed to that mission.

China's industrial demand for soymeal is ravaging Brazil's ecology, putting its supply chains at odds with its domestic "ecological civilization" program. What is the ecological calculus of boosting afforestation at home while driving deforestation abroad?

Today we commemorate the protesters who fought for democracy in Tiananmen Square, scores of whom were violently repressed by the CCP. For the first time, Hong Kong's June Fourth vigil has been banned by the government. Defiantly, we commit to remembrance as a form of resistance.

Hong Kong's youth are bearing the brunt of state violence; a teen protester was shot in the chest this week. Yet the state has used "child protection" laws to remove some protesters from their families. We need a new framework for children's rights ASAP.

In blocking Temporary Protected Status for Hongkongers, Ted Cruz’s betrayal makes clear that channeling all of our efforts into a single avenue puts Hongkongers at the mercy of a handful of politicians. It's time to move beyond the halls of Congress.
