* stage a protest in Iran with a group of non-existant homosexuals.
* stage a protest in Afghanistan by standing up to Taliban clerics
* stage a protest in the current hotspot - Burma
* stage a protest at a civil service strike which deprives the community of essential services
* stage a protest in Caledonia in support of the non-indian community
* and the list goes on and on.
