The '''Community Alliance''' ({{zh-t|區政聯盟}}) is a political alliance set up by a group of [[pro-democracy camp (Hong Kong)|pro-democratic]] grassroots activists and community workers, many of whom are the former members of the [[Democratic Party (Hong Kong)|Democratic Party]]. Mainly based in [[New Territories East]], the group consists of several local political groups including the [[Community Sha Tin]] and [[Concern Group for Tseung Kwan O People's Livelihood]] (CGPLTKO). Many of the members contested in the [[2019 Hong Kong local elections|2019 District Council elections]] under different banners.

==History==
The Community Alliance was set up in May 2019 for the [[2019 Hong Kong local elections|2019 District Council elections]]. It consists of more than 60 former Democratic Party members and another 20 pro-democracy advocates.<ref name="setup">{{cite news|title=Ex-democrats set up new group to join DC polls|url=https://news.rthk.hk/rthk/en/component/k2/1460142-20190530.htm|work=RTHK|date=2019-05-30}}</ref> Its convenor [[Ricky Or]] and two deputies Au Chun-wah and [[Ting Tsz-yuen]], quit the Democratic Party in December 2018 due to the intra-party conflict.<ref>{{cite news|title=Hong Kong Democrats lose 59 members after row over district council elections|url=https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/politics/article/2177718/hong-kong-democrats-lose-59-members-after-row-over-district|date=13 December 2018|newspaper=South China Morning Post}}</ref> Since then, Ricky Or's [[Tseung Kwan O]] groups and Ting Tsz-yuen's [[Sha Tin]] groups operated under their own local groups of [[Concern Group for Tseung Kwan O People's Livelihood]] (CGPLTKO) and Community Sha Tin respectively.

The group planned to field 28 candidates in the elections in November 2019.<ref name="setup"/> However, many of its candidates ran under different banners including CGPLTKO, Community Sha Tin, [[Power for Democracy]] democrats and independent democrats. All four candidates in Tai Po who associated themselves with the alliance were elected, making it the largest political group in the council with [[Neo Democrats]] which also won four seats of which all the elected seats were taken by the pro-democracy camp.
