Peaceful Protests

The ability to protest is one of the foundations of free speech and in any democracy. The point of peaceful protests is to bring attention to the situation, and with the help of the press and other media, to make the general public more aware of the situation. There are some very definite formulas for success in peaceful protests:





1. Be consistent, organized, polite but firm in your message and intent

2. Peaceful protests is all about getting the media to carry your message to the public. Always keep the bigger picture in mind (What is my objective?) and avoid being sidelined by personas and conflicting opinions who oppose your ultimate goal

3. Have brochures, pamphlets and other tools readily available that can easily be given out and/or quoted

4. Contact the media prior to your protest; assign someone to photograph or videotape the event to be assured you have footage or photos for further actions.

5. Always carry signs and make sure that you have extras already made up and available to be carried
