    It’s not, but generally in democracies, people protest to let their own government and their fellow citizens know how they feel about an issue.

    • When the issue is domestic, they are generally seeking a policy change.

    • When the issue is foriegn, they usually hope to influence their own country’s foriegn policy stance/actions on that issue.
