The protest was organized by the civil society group Democracy Hub, who notified the Ghana Police Service of their planned demonstration on Nkrumah Memorial Day. Their aim was to call for economic reforms in light of perceived mismanagement and corruption in the government. Despite the police filing an injunction application on the eve of the demonstration, organizers proceeded with the protest, leading to the arrests of some participants.

Despite the police presence and warnings, the protestors remain committed to conveying their message, gathering for a second day of the demonstration at Jubilee House.
