Campus protests, while not as popular as they once were, can still motivate change. Whether you're in on the planning or just a participant, participating in a campus protest is a great way to make a difference. A few simple steps can have you on your way to the picket line in no time.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Join some organizations on campus. Groups like campus Republicans or Democrats, Students Against Drunk Driving, and some religious organizations are likely to hold protests when the issues get hot.

  2. Step 2

    Grab a picket sign and join the line. Make a sign to help get your point across. If you're resisting evacuation from a building, try "Heck, no, we won't go!" or some other catchy slogan. Meet with your protest organizers if you're short on ideas.

  3. Step 3

    Chant like you really mean it. Every protest needs some sort of slogan or other verbal communication. Everyone participating in your protest might consider singing a hymn, jingle or other catchy tune to be heard all over campus.

  4. Step 4

    Speak out for your cause. If you're really devoted to a cause and your protest is big enough, you might be the subject of newspaper headlines or even televised news coverage. Commit yourself to the protest and stand on the front lines for change.

  5. Step 5

    Be ready to get arrested. Depending on the subject of your protest and the seriousness of your intentions, you might run into some heat from the campus or local police. If you're really devoted, take a hint from the protesters of the 60s and go to prison for your cause. Once behind bars, you can organize more protests.
