How do people get what they want from their governments? Some simply lobby for what they want. These people may include those with high positions of power, such as politicians, companies’ CEOs, trade unions with high political influence and other wealthy sectors of the population.

But what happens with the people who lack direct access to power? What do people with little access to power and decision-making do to get what they want from their governments?

They take to the streets and protest. And they protest vividly.
