I don;t think we would or should put in an article about an upcoming protest , however notable it seems likely to be--but it is true that one on a major protest put into WP when it should, which is after the event happened and attracted attention from major media sources, would increase the reach of the message.

Again, this would imply we should have almost no articles on current subjects. An article on an upcoming peace protest increases its visibility and helps achieve its goals of turning out many members;
Of course in none of these cases should we allow the articles to be non-neutral or *explicitly* promote anything, but it's simply impossible to create an encyclopedia that has no secondary effects, since spreading information nearly always has secondary effects, and spreading information is actually the entire point.
