Protests are happening all the time. This form of activism is usually to bring about social, political, economic, or environmental change. Sometimes this takes the form of picketing, boycotts, rallies, street marches, strikes, sit-ins, and hunger strikes.

PETA likes to push the Anti Fur Movement. The Westboro Baptist Church is diligently against homosexuals. Tea Party protesters hope to spread their political movement. There was recent controversy with the Occupy Wall Street arrests. Protesters were arrested for walking onto the Brooklyn Bridge.
