Yes, there are many ways to maximize the impact of protests without breaking the law. It is important to have clear, achievable goals for the protest and use tactics like peaceful blocking and targeted boycotts that achieve those goals without creating unsafe situations or legal repercussions for protesters. Networking with similar groups in different cities can be helpful in developing successful strategies and messaging as well as amplifying impact nationally or internationally. Additionally, having a plan on how to de-escalate a potentially violent situation can help protect both organizers and participants from harm.
