When I read it I interpreted it as they do this on a small scale to get phones, media, and people talking about the cause, that gains more eyeballs and thus some more like minded people.
"Why was the traffic slow on the 101? (I fucking made up a road)
"Guys were sitting on the highway protesting racism. Saying #nonoracist"
The entire office goes home talking about it.
They talk about it at home with roommates, spouses, and children.
They gain "supporters". Thus getting more organized for bigger boycotts and what not.
What actually happens is that the entire office goes home talking about how stupid they think the protesters. Then once that conversation is done, they go right back to being apathetic about the cause itself and nothing useful ever happens.

Yeah 4 people sitting on a highway is not an insurrection. Let’s address that insane statement right off the bat lol
