Protest March and/or Rally
A protest march is when group of people march from one location to another in the hopes of creating awareness for their cause and a protest rally is when a group of people gather to oppose something as a group. Rallies without marches are common but marches usually include rallies.
Classic example: March on Washington, August 28, 1963 during the Civil Rights Movement
Recent example: Nationwide rallies, November 15, 2008 opposing Proposition 8
Petition and Letters
Probably the most talked about and least used form of protest: “Write a letter to your local congressman or [insert official here].” You think you yourself, ‘Will that actually work?’ ‘Will they even read it?’ ‘But it’s so much work!’ ‘Do I have to?’ Well, yes it can, we hope so, it doesn’t have to be, no but don’t you think it’s a good idea. Using this site to create organized campaigns for all kinds of people we can flood their mailboxes. Or write a letter on your own. It’s all up to you.
Sit-in
Classic protest method once again used during the Civil Rights Movement. Now there only specific place where this can be implemented but we will certainly let you know where and if we recommend it.
Song
No this isn’t a joke. With every kind of political movement/civil rights struggle/just about anytime somebody got pissed off there has been a song to accompany it. Maybe that isn’t your thing: create art, write a play, or think of something so creative we have to add it ===>
