Protesters' Rights in Nevada

Last updated: July 18, 2025 04:33 pm

Graphic with a collage-style design featuring the bold white text “Protesters' Rights” across the center. Behind the text are layered elements: a red-tinted image of a large crowd of people at a protest, a blue-tinted image of a government building with columns, and a black-and-white sign showing multiple raised fists with the words “Together We Rise.” The background is black, and the overall design has a high-contrast, screen-printed effect, symbolizing civic action and solidarity.

Exercising your right to free speech and assembly through mass demonstrations is clearly protected under the First Amendment. However, mass demonstrations can result in unwanted police contact, arrests, or injuries. If you’re going out to protest, here’s what you need to know about your rights.
