Research the applicable laws and ordinances, and make sure to plan any event in accordance with them. For example, most cities require a permit for any public assembly or demonstration, and many have laws limiting the type of signs that can be displayed. To legally protect yourself and other participants, draft a set of rules specifying the scope of protests organizers are willing to permit, as well as an emergency protocol for anyone unsure how to handle confrontational situations during the event. Being organized and prepared will reduce the chances of any issues arising during or after the event.

In order to avoid any potential legal repercussions, you should first research the laws in your state and jurisdiction related to protest and assembly. Generally, organizing a peaceful protest with no disruptive elements is protected under freedom of speech and assembly. Nonetheless, it is important to know the regulations that may affect your event. It might also be beneficial to consult with a legal professional before proceeding with any protests or assemblies.
