#StopTrump Protesters Lock Themselves to Ladders to Block Traffic Outside Trump Rally in Washington
In this article anti Trump protestors gather together in order to make a stand against Donald Trump's political campaign. The anti Trump protestors explained that they are against Donald Trump because his campaign is fueled by hatred and fear against the American people. As a protest tactic anti Trump protestors gathered together and linked themselves together to form a human chain. As a result of this protest tactic the anti Trump activist blocked two lanes of traffic for over half of an hour. As a result of stopping traffic this delayed a lot of Trump supporters; therefore, there tactic was successful in disrupting the Trump campaign and Trump supporters from getting to the Trump rally. The anti Trump activist framed their cause by claiming that Trump brings hatred and fear to the American people and as a result they were successful in bringing national attention to their cause.

North Carolina: 11 Arrested Protesting Anti-Transgender Law
In this article the topic of discussion is the Anti-Transgender law in North Carolina. This article explains how hundreds gathered together on what is being coined as "Moral Monday" to protest the HB 2 law which would exclude the LGBT community claiming to be discriminated against when they are not permitted to use the bathroom of choice. As a result of the protest eleven activist were removed and arrested from the scene. The activist state that the law which will require people to use the bathroom that identifies with the sex on their birth certificate that this is unjust and permits business owners and other people to freely discriminate against people of the LGBT community. I feel that because the protest was able to gather hundreds together just like the anti Trump protestors in the above article the overall tactic was successful because they were able to command national attention.
