Organizing a peaceful protest is allowed in most places, but it is important to keep safety measures in mind. Before organizing the event, check with your local government and/or police department to see what permits or licenses may be required to hold the event. Then, reach out to local contacts such as city council members or news outlets regarding your protest and make sure they understand the intended purpose. It's also important for you to inform the public about what you are planning - consider social media outlets like Facebook and Twitter for promotion - along with flyering other public spaces (e.g., schools, bus stops, offices). In addition, make sure attendees of your gathering are aware of safety standards such as wearing face masks and staying away from crowded areas during COVID-19 times. Lastly, prepare an action plan ahead of time that accounts for anything from potential riot police actions to alternate routes home when marching near dangerous streets – have contingencies lined up ahead of time by contacting legal teams if needed so that no one gets unfairly arrested during your demonstration!

Your best bet is to apply for a permit to use a public space, such as a city square or park. This will ensure that you are taking steps to avoid any potential legal repercussions by informing the relevant authorities of your plans. You should also create safety protocols in order to protect protesters and bystanders, such as having marshals directing pedestrian traffic and identifying any potential risk points. Finally, make sure you spread the word amongst other protestors and local activist groups about the date, time, and place of your planned event. By following these tips, you can ensure that your protest is successful while mitigating risks involved with unpermitted demonstrations.
