You don't typically fund peaceful protests...
- Mediterraneo10 6y agoPeople fund peaceful protests all the time. Those huge banners, custom-made t-shirts, etc. that you see at big protests cost money to make.

- nobody9999 6y ago> You don't typically fund peaceful protests... That's not really true. Many organizations charter buses, print signs, provide assistance to people in getting to such protests and a host of other activities that require funding. In fact, that's almost de rigueur for large, peaceful protests.
- vorpalhex 6y agoLots of people give food, money and supplies to protestors. There are orgs that give water to almost all protests just to prevent heat stroke cases. This can include donations of sign making materials too.
- anigbrowl 6y agoPeople do absolutely fund peaceful protests, anything involving a large number of people has expenses. Just think of the cost of renting a stage and a sound system, or provision of water and snacks. As a rule of thumb any event with >100 people needs a budget of about $5/person. Not an endorsement of this example of political funding.
