marcher
One who demonstrates
A marcher is someone who marches—typically a participant in a protest, parade, or organized procession: Marchers filled the streets demanding justice.
The word emphasizes the act of walking together for a purpose, whether political demonstration, military formation, or celebration.
Civil rights marchers faced violent opposition in the 1960s.
