WHAT ARE
PROTESTS?



A protest is an event or action where people gather with others
to publicly express their opinions about something that is
happening in society. There are a variety of potential goals for
a protest: influence public opinion, draw attention to and share
information about a perceived injustice, gain a wide audience for
the cause, push public policy or legislation forward, learn more
about an issue, connect with others who feel passionate about the
issue, speak one's truth and bear witness. Protests can also
provide inspiration and a sense of being part of a larger movement.
The overarching purpose of protests is to demand change.

Protests can take the form of marches, sit-ins, boycotts, and include
speeches, music, chanting, performance art, poetry, using symbols,
holding signs and confronting people, assembling near symbols and in
places of significance to the cause (e.g., a monument) or occupying a
specific building or space. Protests are among the many strategies
people use to engage in activism and organizing, with the goal of
enacting change. Other ways to engage in activism include advocacy for
legislation, public awareness campaigns, raising funds, gaining support
through social media, among others.
