It's day five of a mass movement to occupy sections of Hong Kong as demonstrators protest a Chinese decision to limit voters' choices in a 2017 citywide leadership election.
A vigil for Hong Kong's democracy protesters is scheduled to be held this evening in Albany at the busy corner of Lark St. and Washington Avenue - activists will be assembling as 'rush hour' winds down around 5:30PM. The demonstration of solidarity is set to continue through 7PM.
Organizers are encouraging attendees to show up wearing yellow yellow and bring an umbrella. The event is being hosted by Occupy Albany and the Upper Hudson Green Party.
