person taking part in a public protest

A person who goes out in public with other people to show that they are against something, such as a law or government action.

用法パターン: [someone] is a protester against [something]
よくある間違い:
Learners sometimes write *protestor* instead of *protester*. Both spellings exist, but *protester* is more common in modern English. Another common mistake is leaving out the article and saying *He is protester* instead of *He is a protester*.
