Protest is about money (3-2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sit-in

'protest' is the definition.
(sit-in is a type of non-violent protest)

'is about money' is the wordplay.
'about' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'money' becomes 'tin' (old-fashioned slang term for money).
'is' reversed gives 'si'.
'si'+'tin'='SIT-IN'

(Other definitions for sit-in that I've seen before include "Seated protest" , "Type of demo" , "Factory protest" , "Occupation of a place as a protest" , "Passive occupation of a premises" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
