Where NAMBLA propagandizes for changes in the law, it's speech is protected. Where it attempts to subvert the existing law prohibiting child sex, the speech becomes criminalized. For instance, the 1st Amendment does not protect solicitation for child sex.
Martin Luther Kings calls for civil disobedience were an attempt to subvert existing laws.
In the Letter from Birmingham Jail written on 16 April 1963 when he was arrested for a non-violent demonstration Martin Luther King meets eight white priest from Alabama who had wrote four days earlier a letter entitled A Call for unity. While conceding the existence of social injustice, they expressed the belief that the battle against racial segregation should take place in the courts and not in the street.
Martin Luther replied that without direct and powerful efforts like those he undertook, civil rights would never be achieved.
He argues that civil disobedience is justified not only to deal with an unjust law, but that "everyone has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws."
