The meeting point is set for 2 PM at Place de la République. From there, the procession will start moving towards Avenue de la Liberté before heading onto the riverside. The demonstrators will then cross Krutenau, follow along Rue de Lausanne, and make their way to Place de la Bourse. The parade will go over the Corbeau Bridge, pause at Place Gutenberg, and finally reach Place Kléber, the final destination of the route. A symbolic loop that journeys through the beating heart of Strasbourg, connecting institutions, student neighborhoods, and bustling shopping streets.

This mobilization, supported by a coalition of unions including CGT, FO, CFDT, UNSA, FSU, Solidaires, and many more, is set to be massive. On September 18th, between 15,000 and 20,000 people had already flooded the streets of the European capital. And this time, the unions hope to make even more noise.

Despite a recent meeting with Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu, the unions feel frustrated. "We were heard, but nothing has changed", sums up Laurent Feisthauer, the General Secretary of the CGT of Bas-Rhin. The demands remain clear: more social and fiscal justice, an end to job cuts in the public service, fairer taxation, and the defense of public services.
Schools, cafeterias, and transportation: what's changing on Thursday
As often happens on strike days, families and users will also need to organize themselves. The City of Strasbourg has already announced the closure of school cafeterias this Thursday, October 2. Children will need to be picked up at noon and at 4:30 PM, due to the lack of full after-school care. However, a Minimum Reception Service will be established in six schools across different neighborhoods.
