The stage is set, the screen is booked. The dinosaur is on its way. Come and be part of Republic Day on Trafalgar Square this Sunday, May 5th. Join us and be part of the moment, part of the movement

2023 is the year everything changed. To celebrate that change - and our determination to win this campaign - May 5th this year will be the first national Republic Day, featuring a major event in Trafalgar Square. This will be the first anniversary weekend of the coronation, the arrests and a moment that shifted the debate about the monarchy's future.

This will be more than a protest, more than a rally. So, we're asking today, will you join us on May 5th 2024 and help make Republic Day a huge success?

REPUBLIC DAY PLEDGE

When we abolish the monarchy, we really can change the country for good.

What's happening at Republic Day in Trafalgar Square? 

1. An exciting programme on our Main Stage.

We are excited to have actor and activist Femi Nylander hosting our main stage activities across the day including: 

- Speeches from former MP Norman Baker, actress and activist Kelechi Okafor, long time campaigner Peter Tatchell, Republic's Graham Smith and more!

- Music from Mobius Loop, delivering a thumping rendition of their soon-to-be released single... Not My King!

- Rousing contributions from Culture Matters, a cooperative of artists who have compiled an anthology of anti-monarchy work.

More to be announced soon!

2. Showcasing a growing movement.

We will be showcasing the hard work of Republic's members, supporters, activists, staff and volunteers. 

We need those coming in to our event to believe a republic is desirable and possible, and who better to tell that story than us.

Come and join us at our various gazebos dotted around the site to showcase and explain why a Republic is needed now more than ever. 

3. A Royal Monster?

A soon-to-be-extinct royal creature is afoot on Trafalgar Square... will you help us defeat this beast?

Keep your eyes and ears peeled for this one... 

4. The Republic Day 'Citizens Banner'.

Republic will be inviting attendees to write a message of support on our 7 metre long "Citizen's Banner".

Come and share your vision of changing the country for good!

By the end of the day, we will have created a banner that encapsulates all the positivity a Republic could offer us.

If you want to get involved in helping out with activities like this on Republic Day, make sure to tick 'volunteer' on the pledge form.

5. Our biggest moment - the rally itself!

From 2pm, our sea of yellow will swell and grow, as we encourage those to join us in our outrage at the injustice of the monarchy as well as our excitement for the democratic alternative. 

We will draw the event to a close together in a roaring celebration of our anti-monarchy movement and the bright future that is not far from view. 

Pledge to be there for Republic Day, let us know you'll be coming along to Trafalgar Square, or that you'll be attending the Republic Day events in Edinburgh, Cardiff, or doing something where you live.
