Social Sciences - Journalism
Polish term or phrase: pikieta
Chodzi o demonstrację, protest, nie o termin geodezyjny ani LGBT.

Czy to będzie po prostu 'protest' lub 'demonstartion'? Czy jest jakieś inne angielskie określenie tego rodzaju manifestacji?

Bardzo proszę o sugestie i podpowiedź, jeśli wiecie.
