- **Event Name**: The People’s March
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 18 Jan, 2025 at 12:00 pm – Sun, 19 Jan, 2025 at 04:00 pm
- **Event Description**: We all march for different reasons, but we march for the same cause: to defend our rights and our future.

If you believe that decisions about your body should remain yours, that books belong in libraries, not on bonfires, that healthcare is a right, not a privilege for the wealthy; if you believe in the power of free speech and protest to sustain democracy; or if you want an economy that works for the people who power it—then this march is for you.

The People’s March is about one thing: our power.
It’s a bold demonstration of the resilience of resistance.

We may have dark days ahead, but we will always work to protect our freedoms, our families, and our communities. We deserve a brighter future and we will continue to work for it.
We are worth fighting for. Our families and futures are worth fighting for.
