Protests

Protests are organized public demonstrations or gatherings that express dissent or disagreement with policies, actions, or social issues. They often involve participants publicly voicing their opinions, seeking to raise awareness, influence public opinion, or prompt governmental or institutional change. Protests can take various forms, including marches, sit-ins, rallies, or vigils, and they may address a wide range of topics, such as political decisions, social justice, environmental concerns, or civil rights. The purpose of protests is primarily to advocate for change and mobilize collective action, often reflecting the values and concerns of specific groups within society. Protests can be peaceful, employing nonviolent tactics, or may escalate into confrontations, depending on various factors, such as the response from authorities or the level of public support.
