Mulbah K. Morlu, Jr. has emerged as the driving force behind Liberia’s “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH” movement, mobilizing thousands across all 15 counties for the July 17 protest, officially declared “THE DAY OF THE PEOPLE.” This mass mobilization aims to send a clear warning to President Joseph Boakai’s administration, calling attention to alleged legal violations and the worsening hardships endured by ordinary Liberians258. The campaign has drawn broad participation from students, market women, health workers, civil servants, transport operators, and other segments of society, reflecting a groundswell of national frustration258.


Organizers describe the protest as a direct response to what they call a deepening national crisis marked by corruption, economic decline, government inaction, and systemic abuses258. Through the Solidarity & Trust for a New Day (STAND) movement, Morlu and his allies have outlined comprehensive demands: transparent accountability from the Boakai administration, an end to executive interference in judicial affairs, restoration of legislative independence, a living minimum wage, healthcare reforms, protection for marginalized groups, and compensation for victims of forced evictions58.


Morlu has emphasized that July 17 will be a peaceful, lawful, and historic demonstration of democratic resistance, asserting the constitutional right to protest without government approval78. He has condemned recent government actions, such as the demolition of poor communities, as evidence of a “ruthless war on the poor,” and has called for nonviolent resistance and solidarity with the displaced78.


Framed as a pivotal moment in Liberia’s democratic journey, the July 17 protest aims to transcend partisan lines. Morlu insists the movement is about reclaiming the nation’s future and dignity for all Liberians, not advancing party politics589. As anticipation builds, the message remains: “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH”!
