I don't know if this is protest in the way you're looking, but I would look towards non-march, non-physical-gathering chain reactions. Take the "ice bucket challenge" as a point. Or posting about your abortion.
Part of what happens when you commit to any action is it tends to shift you towards more activity, more practical commitment even if your intellectual commitment is unchanged. Clicking a "reshare" button doesn't work, but some online actions have real emotional weight.
Another part of protesting is that it's visible, to itself and to people on the margin of participating -- it's a quorum-sensing mechanism. Again a "reshare" is negligible noise, but some online actions are noticeable, distinctive, and visibly coordinated.
Despite my talking it up, this virtual activity doesn't match the personal participation of physically being there, but can you think of ways to take it further?
