People I spoke to who were at the local one in June (I was out of town) said our local one today was noticeably bigger. So there’s that at least.
That’s good. To work it has to hit that magical 3.5%, so that’s roughly 12,000,000 or an average of 4,800 people per location…
Maybe. All we have of any protest throughout history are estimates.
Someone said 5m, so I dunno but that’s not enough people to make change. Next year?!
I saw a 7m number somewhere.
Oooo even better!
I'm sure No Kings will provide an estimate - but probably more than 5 million.
No Kings organizers estimated that more than 5 million people turned out for the June protests. They speculated that Saturday's event could be even bigger. - Source
12m is the breaking point. Maybe next year.
Tbf, that is the guaranteed tipping point. Definitely possible to enact change sub-12m.
According to No Kings, over 7 million.
