Protesting dates back hundreds of years and has been utilized in a wide array of social justice movements. The Protestant Reformation started in 1517, where they nailed a treatise of abuses of Catholicism, by Martin Luther, to a German Church. The formation of the United States was influenced by the Boston Tea Party, a political protest that occurred on December 16, 1773 at Griffin's Wharf in Boston. Colonists were angry at Britain for imposing “taxation without representation,” and so they dumped 342 chests of tea, imported by the British into the harbor. Other history making protests range from the Women’s suffrage parade in 1913, civil rights sit-ins, marches and boycotts starting in the late 1940s, to first national march for Lesbian and Gay rights in 1979, to present day efforts in the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement. Protesting is a way of publicly making opinions heard in an attempt to influence public opinion or government policy. Over the past several months, the BLM movement, accelerated by the killing of George Floyd, has taken to the streets to protest police brutality and vigilante violence as well as articulate a need for reform. Protesters have been pressing its demands within political and policy circles and they are inspiring new laws to be implemented like Breonna’s Law which was named after Breonna Taylor who was killed by police in her own home due to a no knock warrant. This law bans no-knock warrants in Louisville Kentucky. The tenets of BLM are not limited to the justice system and community policing but have also branched into the treatment of black lives in corporate America, education, and public health. These protests are also changing the way that policymakers and citizens are structuring policing. Protesting throughout history has been a vehicle to advocate for change. Protests are not simply rallies, marches, or kneeling but are also the seeds for attracting resources for advocacy strategy.
