protest banners

Marchers' displayed messages

Protest banners are large signs carried or displayed at demonstrations, typically bearing slogans, demands, or political messages.

They range from hand-painted bedsheets to professionally printed vinyl, designed to be visible to crowds and cameras: Protesters unfurled a banner reading "No Justice, No Peace".

The term covers both handheld signs and larger banners strung between poles or hung from buildings.
