rallying point
Where supporters converge
A rallying point is something that unites people around a common cause—a place, symbol, person, or idea that draws supporters together.
Armies historically gathered at physical rallying points; now the term is largely figurative: The shooting became a rallying point for gun control advocates.
A rallying point focuses energy and commitment, turning scattered sentiment into collective action.
