Individuals or Institute groups planning to organize a demonstration on campus must contact demonstration-planning@mit.edu at least three working days in advance to better understand MIT’s policies, rules, and guidelines, and to ensure that the demonstration is carried out safely and without disruption of essential Institute activities. Engaging in good faith with the staff responding to this email address is the most important step in planning any demonstration.
Individuals who wish to organize small demonstrations consisting of fewer than five people, which they reasonably and in good faith believe are unlikely to cause any disruption of essential Institute activities, are not required to contact demonstration-planning@mit.edu in advance, although they are still strongly encouraged to do so. Regardless of the size, demonstrations must comply with all aspects of the Protests and Demonstrations policy.
For additional details, see the Protests and Demonstrations policy and the Resources for Freedom of Expression.
