Start by organizing a coalition of advocates who are passionate about this issue. You'll need to consider all aspects of the protest, from logistics such as time and place to objectives, such as who you wish to draw attention to the cause or what demand(s) you would like met. Once you have determined a goal and an organized group, spread the word as much as possible through various channels to gather supporters in advance of the event. Create visuals and signs that effectively display your demands while staying within legal boundaries. And most importantly, ensure there is coverage — photographers, reporters and cameras document protests best! #Communications #Protest

Organizing an effective protest takes passion and commitment. To make your protest successful, plan ahead: decide what action you want to take and where, create a timeline and mobilization plan, secure signatures from supporters on a petition, use media outlets to draw attention to the cause (press conferences etc.), build alliances with like-minded individuals and groups who support the issue. Finally—but most importantly—make sure that your protest is nonviolent and respects the rights of everyone involved.
