The point that “small protests are the only way to get big protests” may be directionally accurate, but I want to note that there have been large protests that happened without that. Here’s a shoggoth listing a bunch, including the 1989 Tiananmen Square Protests, the 2019 Hong Kong Anti-Extradition Protests, the 2020 George Floyd Protests, and more.
The shoggoth says spontaneous large protests tends to be in response to triggering events and does rely on pre-existing movements that are ready to mobilize, the latter of which your work is helping build.

Unless you have a very optimistic view of warning shots, we shouldn’t rely on such an opportunity.
