Get ready, Savannah! On April 5, 2025, the city will be bursting with energy and passion as locals gather for a meaningful protest march dubbed “Hands Off Our Democracy.” The event is being organized by Coastal Georgia for Democracy and the well-known grassroots group, Savannah Indivisible. These organizations are rallying folks from near and far to stand together in unity and voice their concerns about the current political climate in the United States.
Planning on joining? Here’s what you need to know! The gathering kicks off at 3:00 PM at the Amphitheater in Forsyth Park. From there, participants will march north on Bull Street, creating a sea of determined faces concluding outside City Hall. It promises to be a lively occasion as Savannah’s community comes together to advocate for the preservation of civil rights and democratic practices.
This march isn’t just a local event; it’s part of a much larger national movement. In fact, over 900 rallies and marches are scheduled across the United States in support of the “Hands Off Our Democracy” initiative. This vast network of protests underscores the growing concern among Americans regarding the erosion of democracy and the fundamental rights that citizens should enjoy.
People from all walks of life are invited to join this important demonstration to express their worries about the political landscape and the perceived threats to their freedoms. By participating, attendees are showing that they care about their city, their country, and the very foundations of democracy itself.
And don’t worry if you miss the earlier rally happening in Forsyth Park that day—this march is a separate event, focused specifically on the “Hands Off Our Democracy” theme. There will be plenty of opportunities to engage and interact with fellow supporters, ensuring that everyone feels included in the movement.
There’s no need to be an activist veteran to take part in this march. Whether you’re a lifelong Savannah resident or just passing through, you’re welcome to join. Wear comfortable shoes, bring water, and let your voice be heard! Many participants may carry signs and wear shirts that resonate with the message of protecting democracy, so feel free to get creative and show your spirit!
If you’re looking to be a part of something bigger than yourself, mark your calendar and head to Forsyth Park on April 5. Together, let’s send a loud and clear message: Hands Off Our Democracy!
