Let Women Speak, Reformers Tree, Hyde Park
Large swathes of protestors are slated to head to the centre of the capital for the Let Women Speak rally from 1 to 3pm.
The semi-regular event always sees a lot of people attend and as such, a warning has been put in place for speakers corner near Hyde Park.
The organisers say: “There are no tickets, anyone can turn up, and anyone can speak (but we ask that men wait until the end). You can speak about whatever you like, these are free speech events.
As always, it is completely free to come to our Let Women Speak events, and no one will ask to see a ticket! However, each UK event needs a £2000 security fund to make it possible, so if you would like to contribute something towards that you can enter any amount. Anything at all is appreciated, and all goes towards Letting Women Speak! If you cannot contribute, please select £0, as this will give us a rough idea of numbers. In the event of cancellation or postponement funds will be used for future events.”
