Power in Protest

Protests are a powerful way to make people pay attention to problems that matter to our community. A protest can look a lot of different ways, and it’s important to be prepared. That’s why ASAN made “Power in Protest,” our new toolkit about demonstrations and civil disobedience.

This toolkit talks about:

• Vetting and preparing for a protest,
• Accessibility at protests,
• Your rights at a protest,
• Getting arrested,
• And more
