Unless it's disruptive on a national level with a major percentage of the population participating in it, and/or it incorporates violence in some way, protests are not going to work. Even with the latter there's no guarantee it will achieve its goals.

If change happens, and there was one or more protests involved at some point leading up to it, then there's no reason to say that protest "didn't work".

In general, saying protests don't work is unprovable at best, defeatist and subversive at worst.

There's never a guarantee of success, but it is one of our few rights as a population, and should be exercised.
