Exactly.
Social change comes about in the long run. Pushing awareness of an issue is a long-term thing, and is typically helped along by many groups over the course of many years.
When it comes to protests that worked, Stonewall pretty much launched the gay/lesbian protest movement, which has resulted in a lot of change over the years.
