You’ve obviously never been poor. Being poor is a lot of extra work, just to stay fed, keep your body and your clothes clean, stay healthy and get to and from work assuming you have a job. For some people, homelessness and then starvation are not all that far away. You want them to do what, spend a few hours holding a sign at a protest, maybe get arrested and lose their job? With time stolen from their sleep while they work 2 jobs? I mean come on.
