Participants will gather on Albert Embankment from 11:00 then depart for Parliament Square from 11:45 for a rally at 13:30. Organizers have stated the rally will conclude by 15:00. The action is to demand the government enact policies to minimize pollution in water sources in London and to draw attention to the problems of water scarcity and pollution in general. Participation is unclear, but the event could draw thousands of attendees.
Authorities will probably monitor the gathering as a precaution. Associated localized transport disruptions are possible. The event will likely pass off peacefully.
