    Everyone forgot that there is a hidden big good function for protests more than just a good way to show unity

    The hidden function is to enable people to be together so they can socialize, get to know each other, and brainstorm on what they can do together to make things better in some way. Brainstorming, doing, and collaborating united

    Everybody in a protest getting things done is more effective than a protest where everyone is only just walking with signs

      I suppose it also indicates a level of commitment.

      e.g. it’s one thing to post on some internet site, another to meet people IRL at a place of interest.

      Right! For example I found out people are organizing like in Minneapolis for if/when ICE ramps up anything here. There were people handing out cards with a number to call to report ICE activity and others organizing to help affected families. Respect to Minneapolis for being a model for the country.
