One group who cannot actually implement a change to address an issue you are protesting is the media. In the US or anywhere. They could be useful, to increase pressure on the people with the literal power to address the protested issue - but, that has proven ineffective in the US.

In the US, the elected official, particularly Democrats, know they rarely need to do anything beyond lip service towards a protest, and they will be re-elected anyway. In dictatorships, the media is just PR for the dictators - even less of the “underlying” issue.
