OK, you're preaching on a rush hour subway train. I'm fine with that. Even if the things you say don't fit with my ideas, I respect you have the right to say them, even if it is distracting me from my zombie book.
But come on, there must be more efficient methods of gaining converts. People at rush hour [myself included] are probably at their least tolerant and least likely to listen to what you have to say, especially if they haven't finished their first coffee of the day. And when you've only got one point, repeating it for 10 minutes isn't gonna win you too many followers.
Protesting - also fine. Please protest if you feel your rights are being impugned, but if you're gonna use whistles to grab people's attention, what part of your brain thinks that waiting until they are right next to you before blowing it in their ears is gonna make them sympathize with you and help fight your cause?
If you have principles and are brave enough to stand up and fight for them, then more power to you. But remember you also have the right to think.

New York leads the nation in number of people around whom you shouldn't make a sudden move.
I dunno, London's right up there too. Although it's a lot harder to make any kind of move on a train in London - space is at a premium
