protest sign
Handheld rally message
A protest sign is a placard carried at demonstrations, marches, or rallies to communicate a message—typically a demand, slogan, or expression of dissent.
Usually handmade from cardboard or poster board and mounted on a stick: The crowd waved protest signs demanding climate action.
The signs serve both to broadcast messages to observers and to create visual unity among protesters.
