More attention for protests?

It seems the number of protests around the country are at an all time high. People are protesting the Gaza situation, immigration issues, “No King,” Antisemitism, Gay Rights, budget cuts, National Guard in LA, etc. It is the right of American’s to “peacefully” protest. To make protests more beneficial I suggest while protesting the protesters help their communities that are in need. Clean vacant lots, help repair homes / buildings, clean streets of debris, remove overgrown weeds, etc. While doing this much needed work the Protesters can hang their signs and pictures of their cause. They would get their message across while accomplishing something other than just marching and bellowing. They might even get more attention to their cause by taking this approach.
