I'm guessing you assumed that the title is pretty self-explanatory, but I seriously don't even know what you mean by this. I don't know why anyone in their right mind would raid someone in a video game in order to protest something going on in the real world. That just seems really strange and a waste of time to me.

I meant as a protest against the person who owns the server (not as a protest against real world issues, THAT would be a waste of time).
Raiding as a form of protest generally means either:
1)you're a troublemaker, got caught and dealt with, and are now back with a vengeance to prove that you can't be taken down so easily
2)you know someone who got in trouble, believed their side of the story, and tried to insert yourself into the situation as an uninvolved 3rd party. Having been shut out by the staff (because you're an uninvolved 3rd party, being neither staff nor the person dealt with for the infraction), you're taking to the public eye to try to crowdsource your campaign for change. You're bound to just make a fool of yourself as you finally push the owner to reveal more information about what happened and showing that your friend lied to you about what went down (this could also potentially backfire by turning the public against you as well).
However, I can say as the victim of this occasionally that it isn't fun. I once had to fight someone who had over 14 alts. It was ludicrous how many times he had to be banned, and the ban was for doxxing in the first place. Later we happened to be in the same voice chat, and I realized he was just some loser, younger than 20, sitting in a library with multiple things blocking his ip from being quickly banned.
Curious to see the results.

I would not be opposed to such a thing.
