Demonstration
Boston activists have demonstrated in support for their causes in the revolutionary corridor through marches, fundraisers, strikes, protests, and riots.

Activists responding to unjust laws or government institutions have used the corridor—home to the Massachusetts State House and other government buildings—to push for positive legislative change by canvassing, writing and circulating petitions, providing legal aid, bringing cases to court, and challenging judicial decisions.
Words
Activists have established Boston’s downtown corridor as a place of public debate to inform, lobby, convince, and persuade through speeches, newspapers, magazines, pamphlets, and (more recently) social media.
