Because, let's be real, protests cost money. And not just any money. We're talking about actual, real, non-invested-in-a-401K money. So, let's get down to business.
First off, you'll need some organizing funds. This is where the magic happens, folks. We're talking donations, grants, crowdfunding... all the things that make a protest go from "meh" to "march."
Next up, we've got merchandise. Because, let's face it, who doesn't love a good protest tote bag? Or a t-shirt that says "I'd rather be here than there"? We're talking profit, people.
But, of course, there's also the matter of ประก food and beverage. We're talking concessions, snacks, and, of course, that fancy coffee machine that'll make your protest look like it's got its act together.
And then, there's the insurance. Because, let's be real, protests can get hairy. You don't want to be stuck on the hook for someone's medical bills when they get pepper-sprayed.
