The power of collective action has never been more evident than in the recent years where mass demonstrations and protests have been seen in various parts of the world. Despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, people from different corners of the globe continue to organize, mobilize and take to the streets to demand change, fight for their rights and bring attention to pressing issues. Here’s a look at the upcoming global march events.
Upcoming Global March Events: What to Expect
As the year 2021 unfolds, there are still a number of global march events to be expected. From climate change to women’s rights and from racial equality to workers’ rights, a broad range of issues are being taken up by advocates around the world. With the pandemic still raging on, many of these events are going to be virtual or a hybrid of virtual and in-person, while others will strictly adhere to social distancing guidelines. However, that has not dampened the spirits of the organizers and participants who are determined to make their voices heard.
