This paper examines the dynamics of participation in the 2019 Hong Kong Anti-ELAB Movement. In particular, this paper probes the factors which affect participants’ decisions to engage in and disengage from the movement. Drawing upon social movement literature, four categories of factors are selected for analysis of their influence on movement participation: cost-risk factors, structural factors, social-psychological factors, and biographic factors. Coupled with qualitative interviews with social movement academics, existing survey data, and journalistic reports, the paper discovers that all four factors, though to varying extents, influence participation in the Anti-ELAB Movement.
