Will it change people's minds? Probably not. But there may be people going through the area who haven't been paying a great deal of attention or are ambivalent, and this would be just a little bit more exposure to the idea that there is opposition to it, which, IMO, is a good thing. The more times that people say, "This is a bad idea," the more likely it is that, just through hearing it over and over and over, some people who are ambivalent about it may start to really think about it, just because they keep hearing it. I think it will help to keep the idea in the public conscious, even if this particular rally is in an unsurprising place for there to be such a rally.
