Peter Coyote explains his approach to effective, nonviolent protest, which he developed while teaching a class at Harvard called The Theater of Protest. Frustrated that many protests were misrepresented in political attack ads, he created simple guidelines to ensure protests convey dignity and purpose. He emphasizes that protests are ceremonies—an invitation to a better world—not opportunities to yell or create division. The true audience is the American public, whose trust leads to real change through voting. His rules include: let women lead for inclusivity, use monitors with whistles to stop violence, dress respectfully to counter negative portrayals, keep protests silent to show discipline, and always leave at night to avoid conflicts with agitators. Following these steps helps ensure the message stays clear and powerful.
