I suspect that the organizers can be contacted through the event's FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/588879305069824/.

Subject: Black Lives Matter rally
The turnout was impressive at the Black Lives Matter rally in Muskingum Park yesterday, mostly earnest younger people eager to express their liberal values.  At least they looked young to me, but mostly young adults, not high schoolers. I saw a sprinkling of older folks like myself, including the Tings (photo attached) who had the sense to bring lawn chairs (I didn't).  I was wondering how we might get some of these young people involved in the church. They share our values but have no clear idea of how to act on them - there were no complaints about the Marietta Police or other local institutions.  Once we reopen the sanctuary we could use it as a venue for events that might interest them.  I was thinking of starting a Zoom discussion group on Sunday nights, but I'm not sure there is interest.  I'm not sure there's much we can do with Zoom.  Is anyone in touch with the people who organized the rally?  There must be an organization of some kind. We could ask them for their ideas.
