Organizing a protest that disrupts public order can be risky and may result in legal repercussions. You should research any applicable local laws before planning a protest, or better yet, speak with an lawyer familiar with the issues to get guidance on a safe and effective plan of action. Consider what goals you would like to achieve by staging the protest, who your primary audience is and come up with strategies designed to draw attention to your cause without endangering anyone’s safety. If possible, find other like-minded people or organizations who are willing to support you in advancing your cause.  Make sure signs are clear and focused on delivering one strong message; consider incorporating chants that can amplify the effectiveness of your voice while remaining within local noise ordinances so as not to break any laws around disturbing the peace. Be sure always stay within First Amendment rights as well as follow instructions from police officers if they are called to respond; remember this is not an excuse for unlawful activity - know your rights!

Organizing a peaceful protest that follows the guidelines of the law and does not involve any act of violence is often a delicate process and involves ensuring that the protest moves along without creating undue disruption or obstruction. Once you have determined a suitable location, contact the local authorities and inform them about your plans so that they can prepare accordingly. Have identified marshals who can ensure the crowd sticks to pre-defined routes, listens to speakers’ message, observes social distancing norms and disperses peacefully once things are over. Also put up signs asking people not to block or occupy public spaces in order to ensure smooth movement of people as well as vehicular traffic. Finally make sure all involved follow appropriate health protocols in light of COVID-19 Pandemic such as wearing masks and maintaining sanitary measures at all times.
