I still don't understand how a rally will do anything beyond making the news. The effort might be better spent identifying specific senators, and representatives, and encouraging people to vote them out of office through campaigning.

People aren't going to vote for a congress member based on an issue they don't care about. You have to get people to care first, that's what the rally and associated media attention are for.
