University of California at Berkeley students pass out yellow ribbons and educate others in support for the Umbrella Revolution, a group seeking democracy in Hong Kong, on Wednesday, Oct. 1, 2014, at Sather Gate in Berkeley, Calif. Student leaders of Hong Kong's pro-democracy protests warned that if the territory's top official doesn't resign by Thursday they will step up their actions, including occupying several important government buildings. By raising the stakes in the standoff, the protesters are risking another round of confrontation with police, who are unlikely to allow government buildings to be stormed. It also puts pressure on the Chinese government, which so far has said little beyond declaring the protests illegal and backing Hong Kong Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying's attempts to end them.
