protest

A temporary gathering of people designed to speak out against a cause or political event. Rarely works because the politicians who are being protested against usually send the riot police to "calm down" the protesters.

Nowadays, protests are held for the stupidest of reasons, such as censoring a cartoon that is beng shown on some television show, or preventing a grocery store from being built on an old parking lot, or animal rights.
