And here's the difference between social and political activism. Politicians can't fix social problems. You got racism in your town? Sucks, institutionalized racism is already illegal. There's not much more that lawmakers can do to fix your problem. That's when you use social activism to bring attention to the problem and through some magic wand waving, it'll be fixed eventually.

Just because someone doesn't march with the military, doesnt mean their march has any less meaning
It doesn't have any less MEANING but it probably has far less IMPACT because while a lot more people may CARE, it gets nothing done besides bring attention to the issue whereas marching to DO SOMETHING does get something done.
If you can pull meaning out of the convoluted mess of a sentence.
I have never known a "simple" sign waving protest to have ever actually made a difference. It only does one thing and one thing only, announce to those in power that you are dissatisfied with the status quo.
Congratulations, now they know you are mad.
What are you going to do about it now?
How about you take direct action? Get in the game yourself and beat them at it. Challenge them in court. Take up arms... do what ever you have to.
I can guarantee you though, it won't be easy. Getting in the game is the long play, court action can take years and in an insurrection, there will be casualties. If it was easy, you wouldn't have to fight for it.
The only thing I would add is a mention for all the women fighting with the Kurds in the middle east. I'd love to see the look on those dickhead's faces when they realize they got their shit kicked in by women. (edited for grammar)
