The Great Rally of 1555

The Great Rally of 1555 marked the movement wherein non-humans got better rights. It started with a small group of activists who called their organization Unity Coalition or Ucoa. They gathered allies and non-humans who had the same goal as them and planned a rally at the front of the Quartz Palace.

Things took a grim turn as their peaceful protest was met with brutal violence, which ended killing local celebrity Eloise Nicola- an actress who was known to be a staunch ally for non-human rights. Eloise's death at the hands of riot police brutality became the catalyst for the Great Rally of 1555 as mourning fans joined forces with Ucoa and stood in front of the Quartz Palace from May 1-4. The government was under fire for the death of Eloise coupled with the unrest of the non-human population as more and more people joined the rally. On the 4th of May, the government gave in to the demands of the non-human populace. The Equal Rights Act of 1555 was signed into law, a historic decree that ostensibly granted non-humans the same rights and protections as their human counterparts.

However, the passage of the law did not erase the deep-seated prejudices overnight. Racism and discrimination, though now punishable by law, continued to fester within the shadows of society. Many non-humans found that while the law did grant them protection, the hearts and minds of many humans did not care. Though non-humans are now facing less hate crimes from humans, they continued to be discriminated and excluded subtly.

But the sacrifices made were not in vain, as today, the Great Rally of 1555 remains a powerful symbol of resistance and unity. It serves as a reminder of the strength of like-minded individuals and their enduring fight for justice and equality.
