I know of no examples where people rose up to demand enforcement of existing laws and rights and something changed, but I’d love to learn that I’m wrong. The lack of enforcement usually shows a gap where the law didn’t cover the real world scenario diligently enough.

I can think of tons: The entire US Civil Rights movement Women's Suffrage South African anti‑apartheid movement #MeToo etc, etc. I think the idea of govt needing to "cover the real world scenario diligently enough" isn't the issue here. Its a matter of non‑justiciable demands. My biggest issue with SKG was the lack of real goals. They needed clearly defined actionable demands from the beginning because groups like the ESA were going to come in swinging hard on them. They didn't do that. It's not a matter of law failing to cover real world scenarios, its a matter of making real world demands that can be addressed by law.
