What's you agenda?
"What's your agenda?" vs "What's on your agenda?"
Do they mean the same thing? If we're talking about a human rights march, and we ask "What's on their agenda?", would it be the same as asking "What's their agenda?". I feel like "What's their agenda?" carries a negative connotation. But I may be wrong. Your help would be highly appreciated.
