Dear Editor,
The ‘Building Our Dream Guyana Movement – Defenders of the Rule of Law Ad Hoc Group’ have organized an ‘Advocacy Activity’ for the former Acting Chancellor of the Judiciary, Yonnette Cummings Edwards, outside of the Court of Appeal on High Street, Kingston, Georgetown, on Tuesday November 4, 2025, from 11:00 – 13:00 hours (11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.).
The focus of this activity is to express our appreciation to the former Acting Chancellor for her sterling contributions to the development of Guyana, and more specifically, for her exemplary leadership in the judiciary from 2017 – 2025.
Many professional women in Guyana are of the strong view that the chapter in the story of how the former Acting Chancellor of the Judiciary, Yonnette Cummings Edwards exited the judiciary must be re-written, and this activity is one of the many activities to re-write her story as a honourable and distinguished citizen, jurist, professional and sister in the Cooperative Republic of Guyana.
The ‘Building Our Dream Guyana Movement – Defenders of the Rule of Law Ad Hoc Group’ was recently formed to mobilize, coordinate and organize members of the public, civil society, among others to defend judicial officers, the judiciary and the rule of law, whenever it becomes necessary, so that the judiciary would remain independent and judicial officers could administer justice without fear or favour, affection or ill will. The Ad Hoc Group will also educate and create greater awareness among members of the public about the rule of law and their rights.
We are inviting our Guyanese brothers and sisters to join us on Tuesday November 4, 2025, from 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m., we will be standing on the pavement in front of the Court of Appeal on High Street, Kingston, Georgetown, as we engage and advocate peacefully.
All are invited. Women are encouraged to come out and support. Members of the public, please circulate this invitation widely, and kindly bring your placards with words of appreciation. Members of the media are also invited.
