Some organizers say the protests are both a reaction to Trump and a call to action for systemic change.

What I don't understand is: What's the point of these protests? What are they demanding from who?

Do protests always need demands? I guess I never considered it.

I mean if they don't have one then the question becomes: What's the point? Why would a hypothetical person A go to one of these protests instead of, I don't know, watch Netflix or something.

The point is generally to make content for their personal social media accounts.
