Although I am not sure how much actual policy change has come about from mass protests lately, I do feel they can play a strong role in mobilizing a mass, peaceful progressive movement. A large protest is a great way for activists to meet each other, and one well-organized by a labour union could be a great way to make the case to talented young activists as to why they should seek to unionize their workplaces or develop alternative forms of commerce (credit unions, co-ops) in their communities.

If labour isn't providing young activists with appealing tactics they could use to organize their communities for positive change, then the anarchists are going to be the only people presenting a model for social change.
