7.1 People Pile was a loose pro-democracy political group in Hong Kong named after the mass protest on 1 July 2003. It was established on 10 August 2003. The group is formed by a group of young people mainly under their 30s. Its aim is to push ahead for democracy in Hong Kong by continuing the spirit of "people's power" in the 1 July protests.

Their platform includes a call for universal suffrage for the Chief Executive in 2007 and Legislative Council in 2008, opposing legislation to implement Article 23 of the Basic Law, Hong Kong's mini-constitution, and demanding the Chief Executive, Tung Chee-hwa, to step down. The platform of the group also included the fight for full-fledged democracy, minority rights such as LGBT rights, gender equality, and the development of civil society.{{cite book|title=Repositioning the Hong Kong Government: Social Foundations and Political Challenges|first=Stephen Wing Kai|last=Chiu|publisher=Hong Kong University Press|year=2012|page=160}}

The group filed three candidates in the 2003 District Council elections. All of them were defeated.
