In a post on X dated June 7, 2024, Yvonne shared that despite not being in the best health, she is determined to participate in the march regardless of the turnout.
She emphasized her commitment to advocating for a better Ghana for future generations.
“My health hasn’t been 100%, but I will still walk from Legon down to Tetteh Quarshie in protest of a better Ghana for my kids and their kids.
Even if it’s just me, 5 of us, 20, or 1000, I will still walk. We don’t deserve bad governance coupled with lies and arrogance. #dumsormuststop,” her post read.

The initial plan for the protest was altered due to venue concerns. The police advised against gathering at Revolution Square, opposite Jubilee House, citing security reasons.
Consequently, the organizers decided to start the march from the main gate of the University of Ghana to the Tetteh Quarshie circle, where they will address the protesters.
Rolling power blackouts, commonly known as dumsor, have intensified in recent months, despite assurances from the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) and the government that the situation does not constitute dumsor.
Yvonne Nelson was a prominent figure in the 2015 protests against the then-government over the same issue. Her continued advocacy underscores the persistent challenges facing the nation regarding reliable power supply.
