The People’s Rally Montgomery County
📅 Saturday, January 18th
🕛 12:00 PM - 3:00 PM
📍 Montgomery County Courthouse Steps, Norristown, PA
Rain or shine, we rally for justice, human rights, and community action.
Join us at The People’s Rally Montgomery County to stand united for democracy, equality, and the safety and dignity of all people. In these uncertain times, it’s more important than ever to come together as a community to protect and defend our neighbors and uphold the values we hold dear.
This rally will bring together local leaders, organizations, and residents who are ready to take a stand for:
✅ Human rights for all—especially for communities most impacted, including people of color, immigrants, LGBTQ+ individuals, women, and those experiencing economic hardship.
✅ Democracy and justice in the face of new challenges.
✅ Building practical ways for YOU to get involved in the work ahead.
What to Expect:
✨ Inspiring speakers addressing the critical issues our community faces.
✨ Resource tables from local organizations with opportunities to take action.
✨ A powerful show of solidarity and unity right here in Montgomery County.
This is more than a rally—this is a call to action. Together, we will build a coalition that stands for justice, equity, and human rights, now and in the future. Whether you’re a seasoned activist or someone looking to get involved for the first time, your presence matters.
Let’s make history—together.
