Attendant in skimpy attire meeting with street protest? (10)

Ross

I think it could be either:

resistance

ministrant

'attendant' is the definition.
(a ministrant ministers or attends to someone)

'skimpy attire meeting with street protest?' is the wordplay.
'skimpy attire' becomes 'mini' (miniskirt).
'meeting with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'street' becomes 'st' (abbreviation).
'protest?' becomes 'rant'.
'mini'+'st'+'rant'='MINISTRANT'

'in' is the link.

(Another definition for ministrant that I've seen is " server".)
