Land Justice League

The Land Justice League is a Hong Kong activist group that co-opts other social groups who are interested in a common cause known as “land justice”.

The membership is roughly divided into two groups—one rooted in activist movements dating to the protection of the Star Ferry Pier in 2006, which extended to the Choi Yuen Chuen rally in 2009; the other group consists of followers of the political party League of Social Democrats, run by longtime social activists. The former group of activists generally base their action on what is called a "localist movement"^{[clarification needed]} and they are a group of well educated youngsters with theory-based ideals.^{[citation needed]} They also tend to plan their actions strategically.^{[citation needed]} Their only shortcoming is that they are thin on resources. They are also fastidious about not being associated with any political party.^[3]

The group^[which?] filled in candidates in the 2011 District Council election and 2015 District Council election but did not gain any seats. In the 2016 Legislative Council election, its core member veteran activist Eddie Chu ran as an independent and was elected by more than 80,000 votes, the highest number received by a candidate in the legislature's geographical constituencies.
