Media Coalition Against Galamsey has announced plans to organize a “Red Band” protest against illegal mining in solidarity with Organised Labour’s indefinite strike, set to begin on October 10, 2024.

According to the Convener of the Coalition, Kenneth Ashigbey has stated that the protest aims to amplify the calls for the government to address the galamsey menace, following its failure to meet demands to impose a ban on illegal mining.

Participants of the protest are encouraged to show their support by wearing red bands on their arms or heads and tying red bands on cars, motorbikes, bicycles, and other vehicles.

They are also urged to share photos and videos of their participation on social media with the hashtags #StopGalamseynow, #SaveOurLand, and #SaveOurFuture.

In a public notice, the Coalition called on Ghanaians to continue the protest indefinitely until the government takes decisive actions to halt illegal mining and the environmental devastation it causes.
