One example of a successful protest that changed a local policy is the Bree Newsome Bass removal of the Confederate flag from a South Carolina statehouse in 2015. The protest drew attention to the continuing presence of symbols of slavery and white supremacy in public spaces, leading to increased calls for their removal. As a result of Newsome Bass' actions, several states and localities adopted policies to take down these symbols.

In 2020, local community activists held protests to voice their frustration with the police practice of "stop and frisk" in New York City. Their efforts ultimately led to the adoption of new policies that limited the practice and increased oversight of law enforcement activities.
