New Faces, Stronger Force: ‘We the People’ Movement Expands Protest Leadership As Liberians Unite To Confront Injustice And Demand Reforms On July 17th

Africa-Press – Liberia. The Solidarity & Trust for a New Day (STAND)—Liberia’s most fearless and uncompromising movement for justice and democratic renewal—joined by thousands of awakened patriots rallying under the powerful authority of Liberia’s constitutional preamble, “WE THE PEOPLE,” proudly announces bold new appointments to its frontline leadership for the historic July 17th “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH” Nationwide Protest. Hailed both at home and across the diaspora as the Mother of All Protests, this unstoppable movement signals a decisive turning point in the people’s fight to liberate Liberia from the clutches of corruption, lawlessness, and betrayal.

As Liberians mobilize to confront a government burdened by unfulfilled promises, entrenched corruption, nepotism, judicial interference, human rights violations, and repeated constitutional breaches, the organizers of the July 17th “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH” peaceful protest have appointed some of the nation’s most respected patriots, distinguished intellectuals, and credible human rights advocates to key leadership roles as follows:

Mr. Samuel B. Jacobs, appointed ‘Academic & Think-Tank Engagement Officer’, is a distinguished scholar, former national debate coach, double master’s graduate of Northwestern Law School, and double PhD candidate at Cornell and Liberty Universities. He brings intellectual firepower to the movement’s policy and research frontlines.

Mr. William W. Broh, appointed ‘Diaspora Liaison Officer – Europe’, also known as “Slim-King,” is a fearless activist and revolutionary voice from the Liberian community in France, committed to international solidarity in the fight for justice across Africa.

Mr. Titus B. Pakalah, appointed ‘National Protest Director’, is a renowned human rights advocate, with a record of combating sexual and gender-based violence and pushing for policy reforms. He brings strategic grassroots mobilization and proven leadership to this nationwide action.

Rev. Festus R.B. Logan, appointed ‘Logistics & Operations Manager’, is a revered man of God, civil rights advocate, and seasoned public servant, tasked with ensuring the seamless coordination and execution of protest logistics.

Mr. George S. Tengbeh, appointed ‘Head of Secretariat’, is a prominent labor rights researcher and founder of the Liberia Labor and Governance Alliance (LILGA). His work has shaped national dialogue on economic justice and governance, and he will help anchor the administrative engine of the movement.

These appointments strengthen a movement that is no longer just a protest—it is a national awakening, a thunderous call to justice, and a unified demand by the people of Liberia to end decades of political betrayal, systemic abuse, and economic hardship.

Reasons We Are Assembling

On July 17, 2025, WE THE PEOPLE will rise in peaceful, defiant solidarity to:

Demand full and transparent accountability from President Joseph Boakai and his administration;

• Compel the Boakai-led Executive to respect the independence of the Supreme Court and end its interference in judicial affairs;

• Restore legislative sovereignty by halting the unlawful involvement of the President and Vice President in House leadership matters;

• Call for an end to endemic corruption and the abuse of public trust;

• Fight for equal justice under the law and dignity for all citizens;

• Demand free and quality healthcare for the poor;

• Launch a full-scale review of concession agreements to ensure fairness and tangible benefits for the Liberian people;

• Propose constitutional reforms enabling recall elections for unethical or underperforming lawmakers;

• Push for investment in youth education and skills training to secure Liberia’s future;

• Uplift the voices of the marginalized: kehkeh riders, motorcyclists, healthcare workers, petty traders, civil servants, and victims of police brutality.

This movement belongs to every street vendor struggling to survive, every bike & Kekeh rider being denied justice, every family robbed of opportunity, every youth denied a future, and every Liberian demanding truth, dignity, and the rightful return of power to the people.

We call upon civil society, grassroots organizations, the Liberian diaspora, and global partners to unite in this historic mobilization. Join us in congratulating these bold patriots—and prepare to stand shoulder to shoulder with fellow citizens as we speak not in whispers, but with revolutionary thunder, echoing from Capitol Hill to the farthest corners of Liberia:

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
