Wood said the Living Wage Campaign has not had as much time to develop a support base as the other two causes had.
"It's only been going for a month," he said. "I could see how it might get overshadowed by the groups that have a little higher publicity."
Living Wage Campaign supporters said they plan to meet with University administrators to discuss their demands. Members of the group met with Dean of Students Archie C. Epps III before the rally on Tuesday, but said they want to meet with a higher-ranking official who has the power to implement the changes they desire.
Wood said Living Wage Campaign members are not planning on holding more rallies in the near future.
"There are many other ways to put pressure on people in power," he said.
But for the moment, rally organizers are celebrating the effectiveness of protest.
"This shows the right way to approach the administration is through a combination of direct action and negotiation," McKean said. "That's the only way to win things from them."
Rally organizers said working together formed bonds between the groups that will be useful in the future.
