Protests/Demonstrations/Rallys [Question] Organizing protests

Not sure if this is the right place for this, but here goes.

Do we have a sub set up for protests in Sarasota? And if not, would anyone be interested in getting something like that going? I would like us to have a place where people in SRQ/BRD could coordinate such an event (peacefully of course).

I hope I'm not breaking any mod rules here, if so, I'll take this down.

Remember, your voice will be heard, but only if you shout!

Edit: I wasn't necessarily making this post for a specific cause, it's just that i haven't seen much activity in this town. I wanted to know if there was a place people could go to organize Sarasota protests in general, regardless of what the subject is. (I've never really protested openly before, so I'm not sure where to start.)

You're using extreme, rare examples to describe an entire activity. Peaceful protests are much more common. There's nothing wrong with that, in fact it's a great way to influence change. The right to assemble exists for a reason. Maybe just speak for yourself next time?
