Protests serve 2 purposes. They act to spread a message and connect people.

They also act as a warning. We are willing to invest effort in this to change things. If you don't change, some of us will put the effort into other methods, some of which are... far more unpleasant for you. We also act as support to the people doing this.

The latter is important. For a good example, look at the Northern Ireland troubles.
