It depends on the details of your specific location, however a lawful way to conduct a symbolic action is through holding a rally or demonstration at a suitable place nearby. Make sure to get all the necessary permits beforehand, and ensure that participants follow all local rules and regulations. You could also seek press attention as well if desired. Finally consider having some kind of symbolic gesture - such as empty chairs or signs with slogans - that make your message clear and prominent for those participating in the action and observers alike.

You can organize a peaceful rally at the government building and occupy the area around it, or organize a sit-in at the lobby of the government building. If desired, speakers and loudspeakers can be used to make sure that your message is heard by all. This type of action should be non-violent and observant of legal limits to avoid potential legal repercussions.
