Types of Protests:

Protest march, a historically and geographically common form of nonviolent action by groups
of people.

Picketing, a form of protest in which people congregate outside a place of work or location                  where an event is taking place. Often, this is done in an attempt to dissuade others from
going in ("crossing the picket line"), but it can also be done to draw public attention to a cause.

Street protesters, characteristically, work alone, gravitating towards areas of high foot traffic,
and employing handmade placards such as sandwich boards or picket sign's in order to
maximize exposure and interaction with the public.

Lock-downs: a way to stop movement of an object, like a structure or tree and to thwart
movement of actual protestors from the location. Users employ various chains, locks and
even the sleeping dragon for impairment of those trying to remove them with a matrix of
composited materials.

Die-ins: a form of protest where participants simulate being dead (with varying degrees of realism).
In the simplest form of a die-in, protesters simply lie down on the ground and pretend to be dead,           sometimes covering themselves with signs or banners. Much of the effectiveness depends on the
posture of the protesters, for when not properly executed, the protest might look more like a
"sleep-in". For added realism, simulated wounds are sometimes painted on the bodies, or
(usually "bloody") bandages are used.

Protest song is a song which protests perceived problems in society. Every major movement
in Western history has been accompanied by its own collection of protest songs, from slave
emancipation to women's suffrage, the labor movement, civil rights, the anti-war movement,
the feminist movement, the environmental movement. Over time, the songs have come to
protest more abstract, moral issues, such as injustice, racial discrimination, the morality
of war in general (as opposed to purely protesting individual wars), globalization, inflation,
social inequalities, and incarceration.

Radical cheerleading The idea is to ironically re-appropriate the aesthetics of cheerleading,
for example by changing the chants to promote feminism and left-wing causes. Many radical
cheerleaders (some of whom are male, transgender or non-gender identified) are in appearance
far from the stereotypical image of a cheerleader.
