counter-protests

Counter-protests are gatherings organized by individuals or groups who oppose the views or actions of an original protest. They serve as a way to express disagreement or push back against certain ideas, policies, or movements. Essentially, while the initial protest voices a particular stance, the counter-protest offers an alternative perspective, aiming to influence public opinion or challenge the message. Both protests and counter-protests are part of democratic expressions, allowing diverse viewpoints to be publicly shared and debated.
