After the anti-immigration riots occurred in the UK in early August 2024, the far-right called to attack immigration centres across the country. The left urged to stand up against racism. I joined and jot down what I saw with my camera and reflected from the perspective of a former activist. I recalled a counter-protest, when I was young, in 2011 in Hong Kong, against the pro-Beijing camp and right-wing opposition to the foreign domestic helpers' right of abode. That was my first arrest and a turning point in my social activism.
