Anything less than that is volunteering some fine, and well-intentioned folks for failure.
1. Have a goal (a good, but realistic one.)
2. Have support. Professional, experienced support. Planning (from experienced folks), logistics (everthing from potties to raincoats to first aid, security, legal, public info, and much much much more.) Permits are a must.
3. Funding. You (we) need sponsors.
All of this takes at least some time. More than a few weeks (I hope that you see this, it's critical).
If this is not what you want to hear, then maybe you need to take a few steps back, and re-think.
For a mass demo to be a success, it needs to be planned in Realville. And, a massive failure is worse than doing nothing.

But, but, but, Obama did exactly as you outlined, and it became the best documented, textbook example of what NOT to do in a battle situation.
It became THE BENGHAZI MASSACRE !
At West Point, cadets are taught from the lessons given us by our best Warriors of the past.
One such lesson comes from one of the best.
He was Calvary General Nathan Bedford Forrest, who when asked who usually wins a battle replied: “The winnuh is the one thet gits thar fastust with the mostest.”
The battle was joined when our World War Two Veterans were Barrycaded out of their own World War Two Monument by POS Barry Soetoro.
Will you join this continuing battle, in DC or at your local US Post Office on 10-13-13?
I'm a big fan of proper planning, logistics, and execution when it comes to large scale events, but let's not forget that we're not necessarily discussing the usual here.
The time for large scale, organized rallies in the park, with stages and speakers is over. The times and the threat we face, demand a very different kind of response from the people. We've now reached the point where we need to conduct widespread and sustained acts of civil disobedience to push back against the tyrannical federal behemoth.
Sure, a fair amount of organizing will be required to execute effective major demonstrations of that type, but it's not nearly as neat and meticulous as that required for planning a major rally. I'd say we should be careful to not over-think and over-plan such things. It's much more important to harness and direct the people's anger in a productive direction.
