Mission: OneProtest is a volunteer-run, non-profit organization making a big difference. At OneProtest we fight on the frontlines and behind the scenes to mitigate threats and safeguard those that need protection. We take a full circle approach through consulting, marketing, design work, protests, investigations, petitions, proposals, and boots-on-the-ground work. We implement change by strengthening community ties, changing and enforcing laws, and promoting standards regarding the fundamental rights of humans, animals, and the environment. OneProtest stands against the unjust and unsustainable actions of corrupt government-run organizations, corporations, and special interest groups.
