Woman charged with rioting creates “Nameless” yellow-shop platform to encourage fellow supporters: “There is always light if you are willing to act”
「黃色經濟圈」發展至今已有近一年，各式「黃店」和「黃色購物平台」也越來越多。不過，Mary（化名）、光仔和阿毛等仍創立了「黃店平台」無名士，希望為更多黃店擴大知名度；而曾經被捕和遭控暴動罪的Mary，亦希望以自己的經歷鼓勵「同路人」：「就算俾人charge最大嗰條罪，都唔等於係end game。街頭唔係唯一嘅選擇，其實仲有好多嘢做到、可以有希望，唔好因為被告就好灰、自己縮埋，肯去做就一定有曙光。」
Nearly a year after the development of the “yellow economic circle”, more “yellow shops” and “yellow shopping platforms” have emerged. Mary (a pseudonym), Gwong Jai and Ah Mou have nevertheless founded “Nameless”, a yellow-shop platform, hoping to raise the profile of more yellow shops. Mary, who was previously arrested and charged with rioting, also hopes to encourage fellow supporters through her experience: “Even if you’re charged with the most serious offence, it doesn’t mean it’s the end game. The streets aren’t the only option; there are actually many other things you can do, and there can still be hope. Don’t become dispirited or withdraw just because you’ve been charged. If you’re willing to act, there will definitely be light ahead.”
