Protest

What is the difference, if any, between "in protest at", in protest against" and "to protest"?

Thanks

The first two use 'protest' as a noun and can be used essentially synonymously in the same structure in a sentence. The third one is an infinitive verb, which requires a different sentence structure. In all 3, 'protest' has the same meaning.
