Protests are a tool for mobilizing people and demonstrating solidarity. Showing vulnerable people that they aren't alone. They have to be followed up with community meetings and other actions that channel that energy into ongoing productive work. The US is significantly lacking in follow up here because I guess people don't know what organize means?
Join a community defense group, join a socialist political party, get to work learning your local radical history and building on it. You can't simply win, you have to learn how to engage in a workers struggle in the first place.
