Any interesting non violent protest ideas? (lemmy.wtf)

Wondering what some ideas in the theme of malicious compliance, chaotic good or even legal non-compliance for protesting?

Stuff like chaining yourselves to a tree or purposeful graffiti has been there in the past but I'm curious about yer experiences/stories.

I recall there were some issues with household waste collections and the folks, unfortunately, would stuff their rubbish into public bins. Was wondering why everyone couldn't just dump their bags outside a politicians house who could have power to affect change.

There were some inspiring ones here: https://nonviolencenews.org/2025/01/03/top-10-creative-actions-in-2024-nonviolence-news-special-report/

Stuff like that.. any ideas?

Any things to spread awareness on issues and the reasons/persons/systems responsible? Together with actionable plans?

If it is efficient and 'viral' that would be the best non-violent thing

Makes sense, I guess I was looking for that viral factor.

Just these days it sounds like a regular protest, while fantastic for raising awareness and bringing people together, can easily get reported as "just another protest" and be dismissed easily.
