Unconventional activism refers to political movements and protests.Political movements,or social movements,are usually channeled through conventional forms of participation,such as political lobbying; but citizens sometimes take to the streets in protest against government policies.Protest politics can threaten established authority,such as during the civil rights movement,and occasionally provoke a violent response from government,as the Kent State and Jackson State shootings illustrate.Through demonstrations,picket lines,and marches,protesters dramatize their opposition to official policies.Recent examples include the activities of the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street (OWS).In general,most Americans are not highly supportive of protest politics.They generally see protest as something to be accepted but not necessarily admired,and would prefer that people voice their discontent through elections.
