I have never been a fan of physical protests. When one side protests, people who believe the other way are apt to counter protest. We lose ourselves in a loud commotion in which all words are lost.

Perhaps a better way would be listening to each other. Perhaps groups could set up “listening areas.” People could gather to talk, not protest. They would agree to respect the other’s words, even if they disagreed with them. The main activity would be talking to each other. A time limit would be set on the amount of time for each talker.

Some might begin to write down the ideas that develop. The words could be examined.
Some might feel called to find common points among the differing ideas and develop those common ideas.

Protests are an American way of life, but talking/listening seem to me a better practice.
