Protesting is a good way because if others see what you believe, then other people might also have similar beliefs

The most effective way for citizens to be heard by their governments is through direct contact with local representatives about local concerns.

I believe in protests in either person or in social media, because that is the easiest and largest way to spread information

To get your voice heard you have to use the system we have. Vote when ever you can, write to your representatives or who ever.

Both voting and peaceful protests are good ways of getting involved in government.

protest as it gets opinions heard and voiced as well as showing how much the citizens actually care

Peaceful protesting is a good way to be heard by the government so that you can get your ideas across.

I believe peaceful protest is the most effective way for people to be heard by the government because the government will not always pay attention to the people if they are not acting.

Most effective way to get their opinions heard is to campaign and work with government officials about their issues rather than sit back. If they just complain to people not in power their ideas will get no where.

Cause economic issue for government by boycotting import products in relation to what you're protesting against. For example, if you want the Brazilian government to stop the burning of the Amazon rainforest to clear space for cattle grazing, refuse to buy beef to decrease demand (so the farmers don't have to get more land). Or just go vegan lol
