How would you protest without turning people against you

We’ve all seen the JSO protests in various events. I’d like to think a good number of people here agree with the point they are making while being uncomfortable about the way they make the point.

I for one would not run into the field in Twickenham in the middle of the final. There is no cause in the world that would make me run into a professional Rugby front row.

Putting that to one side, how would you protest to make people really stop and think without annoying them to a point where your message suffers.

Future generations listening to the elders tell stories about the luxuries we had in the long ago Peak Times and all the true and right warnings we had, might wonder why we weren't blowing up more pipelines or oil company executives.
I'm old and will be dead before the worst of it (probably in a heatwave in the next decade) but young people today are going to see everything fall and I wonder if they're angry enough yet.
- I'm 29 and angry but to a point of hopelessness. Sometimes I have conversations and there's only me that seems angry so then I doubt myself. Then I wonder even if I wanted to change anything what could I even do, it'd be just as productive screaming at a brick wall.
  The countries fucked and at this point I just hope I can keep feeding my family long enough to make it to my grave naturally.
