民陣7.1遊行自回歸以來首次遭警方反對。早前向公眾集會及遊行上訴委員會提出上訴，最終委員會以疫情風險駁回上訴。
立法會議員朱凱廸、民主黨胡志偉、民陣副召集人陳皓桓、區議員徐子見、曾健成和陳榮泰以個人身份發起，七一以個人身份繼續舉辦遊行，呼籲市民上街。遊行會在下午2時集合、3時出發，路線改由銅鑼灣東角道出發，遊行到中環遮打道。
遊行主題與民陣七一遊行一樣，為「反抗國安惡法，堅持五大訴求」。
大批市民不滿人大常委會通過「港版國安法」，為抗議惡法，數千人3時在銅鑼灣崇光百貨外開始流水式遊行，向中環遮打道進發，高呼「光復香港 時代革命」、「五大訴求 缺一不可」，並舉手示意。
警方最少5度舉紫旗（首次使用，犯港區國安法罪）、20度舉藍旗（非法集結）警告，並多次在軒尼詩道拉起封鎖線阻止市民向前，馬路全封，銅鑼灣猶如戒嚴。唯市民遊行如流水，轉入橫街之後，在封鎖線後再繼續，遊行至中環方向，無懼6000防暴警力威嚇。
The July 1 march organised by the Civil Human Right Front (CHRF) was opposed by the police for the first time since 1997. Earlier, the appeal was filed with the Public Assembly and Procession Appeals Committee, and the committee rejected the appeal for the risk of spreading coronavirus.
Legislator Eddie Chu, Democratic Party Wu Chi-wai, Deputy Convener of CHRF Figo Chan, District Councillors Chui Chi-kin, Bull Tsang and Chan Wing-tai took over the march in their personal capacity. They called on citizens to take to the streets. The march will meet at 2 pm and depart at 3 pm. The route will start at East Point Road outside Sogo department store in Causeway Bay and march to Chater Road in Central.
The theme is the same as the July 1 march of the CHRF. It is “Rebel Against the National Security Law and insist on 5 Demands.” The National Security Law was passed during the July 1st march, but they will not restrict what slogans are used and what placards are held.
A large number of citizens were dissatisfied that the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress passed the Hong Kong version of the National Security Law and wish to protest against the evil law. At 3 pm, the march started outside the Sogo Department Store in Causeway Bay, heading towards Chater Road in Central. People chanted “Free Hong Kong, Revolution of our Time”, “5 Demands, Not One Less” and and gestured with their hands.
The police raised the purple (first time, new for National Security) at least 5 times and blue (illegal assembly) flag at least 20 times as warnings, and repeatedly pulled up blockade lines at Hennessy Road to stop the public from moving forward; Causeway bay looked like under martial law. However, the citizens marched fluidly, turning into sidestreets, and then continued after the blockades. They marched towards the direction of Central, undaunted by the threat of 6,000 riot police deployed.
