Members of the alliance at the press conference on 21 March 2013.

The Alliance for True Democracy was a coalition of the pan-democrats to fight for full universal suffrage in Hong Kong.

It was formed on 21 March 2013 by 12 pan-democratic groups on the basis of the Alliance for Universal Suffrage formed in 2010 and suspended in January 2013 due to the split over strategy on dealing the Beijing government.

The convenor Joseph Cheng Yu-shek, political scientist at the City University and leader of the Power for Democracy said the alliance priority would be to strive for public support in the political reform debate, and to form a consensus proposal by the end of the year.[1]
