By activism, I mean where groups of cyclists "take the lane" during rush hours, slowing traffic to a cycling pace to underline the need for bike lanes.

Activism works, but I'm not sure the kind you describe does. Other than infuriate drivers and local enforcement officials, the statement made by blocking traffic probably would not have any positive effect. Be prepared for a barrage of 'no bike lanes are good!' tirades.

Good luck!
