Create it. Send it. Follow it.

Yes, that’s Create Your Protest. You’ll design an original demonstration: the issue, the message, the sign, a public place, the day and time, how long it lasts and how many protesters. It doesn’t depend on any existing event. It isn’t available yet.

No. That’s the idea: you create the protest for the place where it matters, across town or across the country, and follow it from wherever you are.

It needs willing protesters near that place, and Protestbum will open city by city, so not every place will be available at launch. There’s no launch city or date yet.

Yes, that’s Join an Existing Protest. You’ll find a demonstration (or add the details of one that isn’t listed), choose how many protesters go and for how long, and a willing protester can accept. It doesn’t make you part of the organizers’ event, connect you with them, or imply they endorse Protestbum.

One person, or a small group. The limit for each request hasn’t been set: it will depend on the place, local rules and how many willing protesters are nearby. A request for several protesters may be accepted by fewer than you asked for, and you’d see that before anything is final.

No one is required to agree, and no one is required to accept. Protesters are paid for their time to carry a lawful message, not for their beliefs, and they keep their own views. Each protester decides which requests to take, so some will choose only causes they support.

Yes, always. Protesters see the message, place, time, duration, pay and check-ins before accepting, and can decline any request without giving a reason. If no one accepts, nothing is booked.

You’ll choose a specific public place, such as a sidewalk, plaza or park, and the app will mark the area where the protest takes place. Some places won’t be allowed: private property without permission, someone’s home, and spots where rules restrict demonstrations. Each request will be checked against local rules before it can be booked.

The plan is for customers to pay inside Protestbum when they book, with the full price shown before confirming, and for protesters to be paid after the session is complete.

The payment provider, fees, payout timing and tax handling aren’t final. No prices are set and no earnings are guaranteed.

The plan: the protester’s phone confirms they reached the agreed area while the session is active, a timer shows the agreed duration and progress, and a few short photo or video check-ins arrive at random times. Location is used only during the session. None of this is live yet.

That’s the plan: the check-in photos and short videos taken during your session would appear in your completion record. They’re meant to show the protest took place, not to identify bystanders, and a check-in will never ask a protester to do anything unsafe. What’s kept, and for how long, will be set before launch.

Not yet. Today you can join the waitlist, or the protester waitlist if you’d like to protest for pay. Requests, matching, booking, payments and verification are being built, and there’s no launch city or date yet.

Every request must be lawful and peaceful, in a public place. No violence or weapons, threats, harassment or intimidation, trespassing, blocking entrances, roads or access to services, targeting someone’s home, impersonation, or faked check-ins. The same rules apply to every viewpoint.

Local laws on demonstrations, permits and paid participation differ from place to place, so the rules for each city will be published before anyone can book there. Nothing on this site is legal advice.
