I was in a dollar general in rural Kansas yesterday buying poster board for today. There was a woman doing the same. She asked is that for No Kings? I said hell yes. She was visiting from Buffalo NY and attending a local KS rally. We both talked about how great ALTNPS is and how you provide the
Absolute best updates and most of the time breaking news before it hits national media. Look at you bringing people together in a tiny rural red towns Dollar General. She attended a nearby smaller city of Hutchinson im told 150 people. I went to Wichita. Estimates up to 8,000 now.
The people attending No King's protest were there for one reason alone, to protect their country. In stark contrast to Trump who threw himself a party worthy of Putin.
And that aint even everyone. This is just one show of our numbers. Congratulations America, we have just entered the fold. Just made alot of ppl in public office either very afraid or encouraged to stand up.
It's even more than that if my city is anything to go by, because we had an event that spontaneously came together in the past 2 days and was never on any of the official maps. At least 700 people and probably more.
The, my friends are straight up MAGA, but still my friends is garbage. If they are basically NAZIs time to cut them off if they cannot change . And yeah, maga voters are like Nazis i dont care how nice you think they are.
Thanks. You are further into the details on this than I am.
I just think it's a bit questionable that the OP doesn't give an details on methodology, but maybe they will respond.
I feel bad for the Army. It is their 250th anniversary. They could have had a nice, classy ceremony that would have meant a lot. Instead, their “big celebration” was a flop. 😞
At any other event I would have loved to see the representation of all the historical uniforms and the birds/tanks. I wish they'd refused based on they can't express a political view while in uniform - this birthday spectacle was absolutely political.
They don't want to do that. The 50501 is basically to make yt people feel like they're fighting and have an excuse when palantir gives us all social scores for compliance
You refuse to see the deaths they caused daily in our current system under the guise of individual and capital. People are going to get hurt no matter what. How long do you want for that to go on?
What's BS is that you want this. They fire everybody and they have no workers.
They answer to money or power. You don't want violence and do want to fight then you need a strike. What's worse? Coming together communally to feed those that may lose their jobs is apparently too hard for you.
I was guessing 5000 as there were way more than at the Hands Off protest a couple of months ago. It was hard to see everyone and I didn’t get close to the stage/fountain because of all the people. Someone else said 7000. I’ve seen drone shots but it’s impossible to get everyone in one frame.
500 hundred in Centralia, WA, and at least as many (if not more) where I was in Longview, WA, which is incredible for a sparsely populated rural region such as Lewis and Cowlitz Counties!
Someone asked me why I’m skeptical of their numbers but post didn’t allow a reply. I watched them make some dubious leaps without any documentation last time. They had to go higher this time. Just makes no sense to me to start making shit up. We’ll get there
We see you, out on the streets in your millions across every US State. ❤️ Faux News might not be covering it but Social Media are. Solidarity. We are rooting for the true American patriots. For the people, not the tyrant and his oligarchs. #NoKings
Holy crap! That dude with the carrying the mystery bag & the fuqing AK47 with the massive clip is scary. I hope that cop didn’t let him back near the rally.
I will wait for more info on numbers. Gap between reports of 5M to 11M is huge. Regardless people showed up! Tragic to hear about rogue gun fire in Salt Lake City.
in san diego this was a much huger one than the one in arpil, as far as i can tell. i was at the star of india and a huge flux of people, who knows 20 per second it was such a wide st, and the frontage st. too. walked by for 30-40 minutes, 35k people maybe i would guestimate? got in at the end...
Woo hoo! Do you have numbers for CO? I was in Centennial, suburb of Denver. Estimates at 11 were well over 1000.
Hard to take good crowd pictures with all the traffic going by.
She was stuck at red light for a few minutes and seemed overwhelmed that so many of us were out opposing the injustice of the Trump Administration. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she grinned from ear to ear.
How are they going to get the totals of the protests all over LA county? We estimated there were about 6000 at the intersections around Hollywood and Vermont. This video was taken at one of the approximately six intersections involved.
We had such positivity at our little suburban turnout. Probably 80% of the cars gave us honks and waves and thumbs up. Only saw 4 middle fingers, and nothing more negative than that.
And yes, definitely a time to enjoy and work together in solidarity! I had a great time at the Denver NoKings rally and feel really excited about how many people came out yesterday!!
I heard a million in Boston alone. I dont know if it's true but it was a lot from Coast to Coast and around the world. It's a Beacon of Hope but we can't take our foot off the gas.
Idk, I'm in L.A., but 10,000 would be surprisingly small for Portland considering the amount of preparation. You can get 10,000 Portlanders to show up for a spontaneous march, given the right cause. Pictures all looked amazing...so proud of you, PDX!
yeah, I need to check and see if any final counts have come in. Yesterday the news was just saying tens of thousands. Based on what others have shared with their crowd photos, we had to be at least 50,000--probably more!
It’s beautiful what happened today, but there’s a lot more to say. Today won’t be enough. We sent a clear message, but to be sure, a bully backed into a corner will be at his meanest.
Wow. It’s the same shit everywhere. Ten thousands of people protested the far-right party AfD in Germany a few months ago. Conservatives immediately claimed the protesters were paid by (back then) chancellor Scholz and his red-green-yellow administration.
How are those numbers calculated?? Indivisible JUST posted over 5+ million... half your number. I would love to believe the 11, but conflicting numbers are popping up.
Well, as long as you don’t just buy a second home that you come to now and then and leave, emptied the rest of the time like all of the other Texans… Then for you, I will make an exception 🌝
I'd love to see tallies by location! I saw SPD in Seattle said 70,000 but watching the time lapse of 1.5 hours (and knowing it was 2.5 hours of marching) I'd guesstimate far larger than 70,000
Just to update, using some time lapse videos of the streets during the march and the fact that the march lasted around 2.5 hours, AI estimated 200-300K people. I've seen other users estimating 240-260K so that seems to track.
Surpassed Swedens population!
Well done!
Brings me joy (and hope) to see you turn up in numbers at No King, and only a «handful» at that «birthday parade».
Yep and scare the sh** out of congress so they start aligning with people who will vote them out instead of a senile old dictator. Most of them are corrupt too but many are just cowards and need to be more scared of us than him.
Here's a list of republican senators up for reelection in 2026. I rotate through the list and call at least a few everyday. I tell them I'm going to fund anyone that runs against them in the midterms if they vote yes on the big ugly bill and don't remove the non budget power grabs clauses in it.
Every city/town’s protest has an individual organizer. Those individuals are either head counting or using math estimation based on how many people fit on a city block.
Numbers obviously don’t include people driving by and around with signs, etc.
Maybe, at least for some wikis. My question is, where does this figure come from, and why do some organizations consider it more reliable than the 11m figure?
“Disinformation: false information which is intended to mislead, especially propaganda issued by a government organization to a rival power or the media.”
Thank you to everyone who joined in, whether in person or in spirit. We need to stand tall, together, and show them that our difference is our strength and that our unity is their downfall
Weird. I get “Not many results contain international “ then I hit news and that brought up a couple of posts but they only had one sentence about worldwide involvement. None say what countries. Do you have a link?
I wish all the people in smaller towns who drove by the protesters and honked in support, gave the thumbs up or the peace symbol, and waved signs and flags out their windows counted in the totals. I saw this happen in my community for 3 hours.
Aww I wish I wasn’t sick. I will definitely have to go to next protest. So proud of our community in Monterey. Someone told me, there were 4K people in Monterey today. Double the amount for hands off protest.
We were personally thanked for protesting by a young man who was near tthe protest venue running his dog. His beliefs and willingness to be supportive are much appreciated.
And keep in mind the numbers are larger. A lot of people didn't sign up. They just showed up.
And there were a lot of cars with a lot of flags and a lot of signs - all honking as they went by. If you're only counting the people standing in the street that's a severe undercount.
Can we also count every person in a car that passed us and honked horns, waved, gave peace signs, clapped.
I feel they too participated in the protest by encouraging and supporting those of us line up along roads all across America.
The numbers really climb if we add them.
Yesterday a woman dropped off a case of water where I was protesting. She don’t join bc she just had a baby but still wanted to support. How many others like her supported yesterday? They won’t show up in the counts but they are out there. 💙💙💙
Yes. I didn't sign up. I'm already on all the email lists and don't need more texts, emails etc. I already show up to events and can't afford to donate, and I'm sure many others are in the same boat.
A large portion of Boomers were still children during the Hippie movement (1946-1964). Boomers are the 2nd largest "generation" & in about 7 yrs. Will be 100% Social Security eligible. They have several dogs in this fight.
I am hearing we are now at 3.46% as 12 Million people came out! I knew the nunber would go up but that is insane! The largest protest in US history by far!
100%. One protest isn’t enough, we need consistent pressure, regular actions and real demands. That’s how we turn a moment into a movement. I think a massive strike would be the final nail in the coffin.
I think that would be a great idea, but I haven't heard anything yet. I'm boycotting July 4th and Celebrating Canada Day (their independence day) on July 1st instead.
And for every person protesting, there are others who want to attend but stay home because they feel it is unsafe for them to join the protests, and others who cannot join because they are isolated.
Thank you. Weird, that it's so out of sync with other estimates. But I have zero background in stats, so I wouldn't begin to be able to compare methodologies. Just glad that there were so many people in so many places.
It's actually a thing to march like that. It's called marching "at ease." It's to prevent them from maybe bringing down a bridge that they're marching over by sympathetic vibrations.
While the birthday parade for the king seems like a bubble, millions of Americans are showing who is in power. We, the people, do not want King Trump. We, the people, are the power that brings every king to his knees. We, the people, are the government.
It’s a meme based on the first Trump term, when Spicer insisted Cheetolini had the largest turnout for his inauguration. They swapped the original inauguration image with one from yesterday’s military parade. So the original picture is old but the meme is new.
Indivisible had a signup online and a table at the protest in Hartford CT. But many people would not have registered or gone to the table. I'm guessing their 5M is what they can substantiate, though they have to know its so much larger. Plus there was 50501 folks and Women's March groups as well.
Did anyone get a picture of the march spanning both bridges simultaneously? The local news is reporting that this march covered nine city blocks. But the ends of those two bridges are like 23 blocks apart. I’m about to write some letters to some editors but I need a photo to prove it.
I just saw a report from a Boston TV station saying that there were a million people there today - combined No Kings with Pride. That's a mainstream channel and they generally underestimate. Hard to believe there weren't more than 5 million across the whole rest of the country. We'll know tomorrow
Alt National Park Service reported over 11 million. They had people attending all the protests to do exactly that - count, and report how the event went. They have been integral in the entire movement.
Alt national park service was on the ground at every registered event. They say 11 million and counting about an hour ago, as some west coast numbers are still coming in
Please sign this young woman up to head up or be spokesperson of SOMEthing, to lead those of us who care, and those Americans who can’t be bothered to care.
I love her passion and her well-charged Sen words.
💙🇺🇸❤️
Remember this is just the beginning we have the people but we need to erode the pillars of support, support and consolidate allies, and more. Either way we still have a long fight ahead of us and it will likely last past the mid terms. Then we have to fix the damage he has done.
I just re-read Erica Chenoweth and Maria Stephan to cite for you specifically but I may need to retract my statement! They focus on participants as a whole- not explicitly stating adults but somewhat implied instead.
Regardless, we need to do more. I've never really felt comfortable with 3.5% as a goal, simply because I worry that when we reach that, and things don't immediately get better, a lot of people will lose their motivation.
& people need to also realize that this is when it gets dangerous. In a func. democracy, politicians would back down at crowds this large. Trump's regime is not a func. dem. He will have protesters attacked
Peace in the face of violence will cause many more to join, until numbers are overwhelming. And then if he still does not yield, it may cause other countries to get disgusted and demand their own governments step in to protect people, while the US military itself turns on the regime
A couple dozen towns around the Denver metro and none had fewer than several hundred, and most had thousands. The march in Denver was over a mile long.

What’s next?
General strike?
Need to step it up
A general strike is impossible in America because of laws we have against strikes and because the majority of this nation is under AT WILL employment.
That means strikers can be fired.
It's why most protests are on weekends, after 5pm, or holidays.
They answer to money or power. You don't want violence and do want to fight then you need a strike. What's worse? Coming together communally to feed those that may lose their jobs is apparently too hard for you.
They will fire everyone to prove a point.
These two web sites outline many nonviolent strategies. You can choose the ones that work best for your community.

This is 3.2 % of the total US population of 340 million.
And it is 4.1 % of the Voting Age Population of 266 million.
I just hope the cops who made the deliberate decision to fire directly at her at least get named and shamed.

Makes me wonder if The Villages had a protest🤔
Just type the villages into the search section, and you will see several posts and videos.
Thankfully arrested and keen observers
The energy was electric!

It honestly made me feel not so alone in what we're facing, and that's worth a lot.
That's really close to our 3.5% Mark.
Based on 360 million in the US , we need 12.6 million to show up.

Seasoned protesters.
I'm older, not boomer, but right after (some call it echo boomer, some gen Jones, whatever), and everyone that I know cares about this country.
A lot of boomers (and others) fought for this country.
To be honest, I've been a bit surprised by the younger Gens turning out.

I don’t care, arrest me, punish me, I will keep showing up because I am a patriot.
I love my country for what it has the potential to be, for the progress we made.
I will oppose in my peaceful ways those who wish to destroy our potential.
