Rallies are where you go to learn how to be a good leftist and get used to resisting the state. And they’re where you go to tell leftists about serious events they might want to attend. And they’re where to go to threaten politicians with serious consequences if they don’t do the thing.
I recall a story of tens of thousands of black people marching towards Washington and the government panicking, shortly before the Civil Rights Act was passed.
You recall wrong because the beginning of the civil rights movement started in 1945. And the Civil Rights Act was only passed because they were engaging in economic violence, like general strikes, the Montgomery bus boycott, things that caused an impact to profit.

How many decades have to go by before those serious consequences kick in?
