The agenda is as follows (all times are approximate and subject to change):

Alongside local organizers, partners, and leaders from across the pro-democracy & pro-worker movement, we will demonstrate organized peaceful, nonviolent people power that outpaces any authoritarian aspirations. History is clear: people-led movements — not force, not one politician — are how we end attacks on our rights and attempts at authoritarianism. Our movement is trained in de-escalation to ensure powerful, disciplined, and lawful local actions. When communities stand together in peaceful, non-violent action, fear loses its power. 

We look forward to seeing you there!
