Sit-in Demonstration

A sit-in demonstration is a form of nonviolent protest where individuals occupy a space, often a public or private area, to advocate for social or political change. Participants usually sit and refuse to leave, drawing attention to their cause and expressing dissent against policies or practices they oppose. This tactic gained prominence during the civil rights movement in the 1960s, as it highlighted racial segregation, particularly in public spaces. Sit-ins aim to generate public awareness and pressure authorities to address grievances without resorting to violence.
