Protesting does nothing to sway the opinion of those with the money and the power. You have to hit them where it hurts - the pocketbook. General strikes are more effective and actually work in countries with populations that haven't been pacified the way the US citizenry has.

Unfortunately, no one knows who are real puppeteers of marches, they could be same culprits whom are being protested! Today's protests and marches missing their true roots, indeed, they are not effective! They serve no purpose other than to register popular opinion!
