:It was supposed to be a bit larger than just commemorating the victims. It was also a rally for free speech. Of course things are not clear since everything happened in a rush, and every politician right now is busy saying what he thinks protesters have said. I think "commemorative" in the title is slightly WP:POV. 
 :You could scrap "January 2015" in any case - as for now, it is unambiguous, and it can always be changed later if further events require it. 
 :I did not even think there could be confusion with republican/democrat, but you are right it should be avoided if possible. 
 :An option could be "Je suis Charlie demonstrations" since it is the slogan that stuck. It is unambiguous and has a reasonable chance to remain so. It also avoids a generic title such as my original "10 and 11 January 2015 protests" which - though unambiguous - is not very informative. It would change slightly the topic to include some minor demonstrations that happened before Jan 10/11 but that's not a big deal. 
 :Unless someone comes up with a reason to keep the title as is, I think it is a case of WP:BOLD to change it soon.
