Some of the nonviolent tactics used during the Civil Rights Movement were marches between two major cities. The violence did not erupt until people reached the destination city. Martin Luther King, Jr. also had several peaceable rallies and spoke at many gatherings.
He initially believed in nonviolent resistance, but eventually decided that violent protest was necessary to end racial oppression.
It is a protest which does not employ violence as a way of getting the message across. Some means of achieving this could be petitions, lobbying through email, letters or media outlets, or boycotting. Demonstrations, marches and similar can also be a form of non-violent protest, but often become violent as they progress. One example of an effective non-violent protest was the Montgomery Bus Boycott, where coloured people refused to use the buses in Montgmoery, Alabama to protest about segregation on the service. After almost a year, loss of revenue forced the company to desegregate the buses and allow coloured people to sit at the front.
People have the right to gather in public to march, protest, demonstrate, carry signs and otherwise express their views in a nonviolent way.:)
Because some people are so ignorant and kill 'em. Protest animal cruelty today! :D

Howdid some colonist of the quartering act protest this law?
Some can and do protest. In others, people are very poor and it is hard to organise a protest. Some are not well educated. Some find it hard to get together so it is difficult to mount a big protest. They might not be able to travel to the bigger cities to make their protests. They may not even realise the value of protesting. Some countries do not allow freedom to protest so it is more difficult and even dangerous for people to protest in those countries. So there are lots of reasons that some third world countries do not protest.
Why don't you protest the tax increase?I would protest if I had to move.

By the end of 1960, approximately 70,000 demonstrators had participated in sit-ins across the southern United States to protest racial segregation and discrimination. These nonviolent protests aimed to bring attention to the injustice and inequality faced by African Americans in public facilities, such as restaurants and lunch counters. The demonstrations played a significant role in the broader Civil Rights Movement.
