The YouthvGov Trial of the Century was scheduled to begin Monday, Oct. 29th, 2018 in Eugene, Oregon. The case had been scheduled to begin on Monday, Oct. 29, but the United States Supreme Court has temporally stayed the case. So instead of taking their case to Federal Court today, the plaintiffs, attorneys and staff of Our Children's Trust invited thousands of their supporters to a rally on the steps of the courthouse in Eugene. Around the country, and around the world, close to 70 similar support demonstrations were held.
