Occupy Central
Occupy Central is a civil disobedience movement which began in Hong Kong on September 28, 2014. It calls on thousands of protesters to block roads and paralyse Hong Kong's financial district if the Beijing and Hong Kong governments do not agree to implement universal suffrage for the chief executive election in 2017 and the Legislative Council elections in 2020 according to "international standards." The movement was initiated by Benny Tai Yiu-ting (戴耀廷), an associate professor of law at the University of Hong Kong, in January 2013.
Umbrella Movement
The Umbrella Movement (Chinese: 雨傘運動; pinyin: yǔsǎn yùndòng) is a loose political movement that was created spontaneously during the Hong Kong protests of 2014. Its name derives from the recognition of the umbrella as a symbol of defiance and resistance against the Hong Kong government, and the united grass-roots objection to the decision of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPCSC) of 31 August.
The movement consists of individuals numbering in the tens of thousands who participated in the protests that began on 28 September 2014, although Scholarism, the Hong Kong Federation of Students, Occupy Central with Love and Peace, groups are principally driving the demands for the rescission of the NPCSC decision.

Hong Kong reform vote
The Hong Kong government’s political reform proposal for how the city elects its leader by universal suffrage for the first time in 2017 is based on a strict framework set by Beijing. The plan limits the number of candidates to two or three and requires them to win majority support from a 1,200 strong nominating committee. Arguing that this does not constitute genuine universal suffrage, pan-democratic lawmakers have vowed to reject the package, while pro-democracy groups have protested. The government’s resolution was to be put to a vote by the 70-member Legislative Council in June 2015, requiring a two-thirds majority to be passed.

Reforms fuel July 1 hopes
Organizers of this year's July 1 rally are hoping that at least 100,000 Hongkongers will turn up "to build a democratic Hong Kong, regain the future of our city."
Civil Human Rights Front convener Chan Sin-ying said the rejection of the political reform package last week does not mark an end to Hong Kong people's fight for democracy.
She said Hongkongers must now unite and prepare themselves for the upcoming battles, including the district council election this year and the Legislative Council election next year.
Chan also revealed that the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department has refused to issue temporary hawker licenses to booths on a section of Hennessy Road outside Hysan Place the first time such applications have been rejected.
"We received a notice earlier today, saying that the section of the route in Causeway Bay is too narrow for booths," Chan said yesterday. She added the police have informed them that the department is the sole power in decisions on temporary hawker licenses.
But Chan said she believes the police may have had a hand in the decision.
