Public protests

Public protests are demonstrations where groups of people come together to express their opinions or demand change regarding social, political, or economic issues. These gatherings can take various forms, such as marches, sit-ins, or rallies, and they often aim to raise awareness, influence public policy, or show opposition to specific actions or laws. Protests are a form of free speech and can be peaceful or, at times, escalate into confrontations. They play a vital role in democratic societies, allowing citizens to advocate for their rights and concerns.
