1. Clarify Intentions
The first thing that must be done is a consensus among group members on what the intentions and style of protest will be performed. You can choose from a normal protest or an awareness campaign. Also you must figure out what mediums you will be presenting it through. Another part to consider in this step in who your audience is and if the medium chosen is appropriate.

2. Choose Area on Campus
To be effective in your protest/awareness campaign choose an area on campus that is high traffic. The more people you talk to the likely hood of your issue spreading grows. Look also for events happening on campus that relate to human rights issues. For example a poetry slam on social justice issues would be a prime place for enacting a protest/awareness campaign.

3. Time
4. Organize
Gather materials together and estimate the quantity needed to be effective. For example if your doing flyers and candy you may need 50 flyers and 65 bags of candy. Also set up all social media links if you are going to utilize that resources. If doing protest publicize to get the most amount of people. Most important aspect of this step is to make sure the information you are giving out is accurate!

5. Implement
When you go to enact the plan first thing is to be respectful of the property on campus and to the people to whom you will speak with. There will be disagreements of ideas but as long as you approach each person with confidence and reverence it will be all good. If offered to read your object during the event you are at, DO IT! Talk to as many people as you can! Most important thing is NO VIOLENCE!

6. Evaluate
After it is finished gauge how effective the protest/awareness campaign was. Check through social media if you used that to see how many people posted something. Also think about the conversations you had and think about how engaging they were. Evaluate the effectiveness of the objects used. Did they grad attention? Did they stress the message? Make the necessary changes and do step 5 over again with these changes until the desired goal is accomplished.
