Sit-in protests

A sit-in protest is a nonviolent demonstration where participants occupy a specific location, often a business or government building, to express their demands or objections. Participants remain seated or stationary, refusing to leave, to draw attention to their cause and press for change. This method aims to create inconvenience for the authorities or entities targeted, highlighting issues like injustice or discrimination, while maintaining a peaceful approach. Sit-ins have historically been effective for social and political movements seeking to promote civil rights, labor rights, or policy changes without resorting to violence.
