... or perhaps participants have simply taken vacation days for several days over the last month to participate in order to support a political action that they believe in.
I also wonder whether you believe that all protests are a waste of time? For example, was Martin Luther King a "lazy bum" who should have "got a job"? Mohandas Ghandi? Tiananmen Square protesters? Tea Partiers? Arab Spring protesters? Or is it just the Occupy and Idle No More protesters?
