For centuries, Americans have taken to the streets when they’ve had grievances to share. We’ve taken to the streets to make our voices heard, to effect change, and to feel and display the power and solidarity of mass gatherings. But with physical distancing and shelter in place orders prevalent throughout the U.S. and the world, how do we responsibly exercise our First Amendment right to protest, which remains as essential as ever?
Undoubtedly, there is a medical imperative to keep ourselves and our neighbors safe, and our hospitals from becoming overwhelmed. At the same time, public debate about urgent political questions — from construction of the Keystone XL pipeline and southern border wall to when and how to reopen the country - remains more vital than ever.
Current physical distancing measures have presented challenges, but people have found some creative ways to make sure their voices are heard. Here are just a few examples:

Tomorrow works for me.
It’s been obvious for decades they need to change their name to ALU - American Leftists Union. They long ago abandoned championing civil liberties for anyone of any different political persuasion.
“... how do we responsibly exercise our First Amendment right[s] ...?
As always ACLU afu.
HOW TO PROTEST DURING A PANDEMIC.....
Simple....
PROTEST...A Pandemic does not negate the Constitution or the rights it restricts government from prohibiting.
Fine but how do you do it in Iran/China where they deserve to be taken down.
ROFL!!!!
Our taverns and restaurants here in WI are getting annihilated by George Burns' look-a-like, Gov. Evers.
Tanker ... you hit it exactly.
I scanned most of their demonkrap soviet propaganda - there was no advice for the deplorable to “responsibly exercise our 1st Amendment right to protest”, it was all for leftists and their communist agenda.
The ACLU really showed their true colors during the Kavanagh hearings.
What? Cover up and throw things?
ACLU should be filing first amendmentlawsuits to keep government from closing churches
But that isnt really their thing, is it.
This is how you protest amidst the ever so scary flu: just like April 19, 1775.
ACLU is a bad joke.
on so many issues over the past 4 years, they have gone AWOL. now they talk about a pipeline in the gloBULL warming “war”.
ACLU.....ANTI-CHRISTIANS LOVE US!
They’re basically despicable, but then, I’m being nice.
Americans’ constitutional rights are being destroyed wholesale right now.
So what is the ACLU doing in response? What is the “civil rights” organization’s priority?

That’s right: Fighting on behalf of males who want to compete against females in women’s sports.
I’m sure we’re all eager to take advice from the ACLU.
Eff the ACLU.
I didn’t read the article but I don’t suppose throwing PPE into the harbor in the early dawn light was considered.
Curious why you think that would matter to the point made? Other countries have to find their way, raise up and destroy their oppressors, but they continually stay under the thumb now don’t they? Could it be the 5th century mindset they still hold in some instances and tribalism in others whereby the weak think the strong should lead and might makes right?.
