FYI: How to Protest Peacefully And Effectively (& avoid going to jail) 1. During the actual protest is it important to not block roadways or private entrances. 2. You should never make threats or engage in violence – these situations can escalate out of control very quickly and lead attention away from your main cause. 3. Profanities should also be kept in check as they can result in arrest in some jurisdictions. It is also important to remember your behavior if you are an onlooker to a protest or even chose to counter-protest because you do not share the same beliefs. Many times violence starts from opposing groups and reacting to protesters with anger or violence will only cause more trouble. 4. Always cooperate with police and do not resist arrest even if you feel that you have protested within your rights. If you feel like protesting is not for you there are other ways to get your message across. Boycotting certain companies, voting in elections and volunteering all can lead to change without picking up a picket sign. legalfish/TheDailyTackle/2010/07/23/how-to-protest-peacefully-and-effectively/
