Every small town, big city and in every state at least one No Kings Protest happened.

The total estimate nationwide of protesters:

11 MILLION

#NoKingsDay

While I'd like to believe that, do you have a source for your count? The best estimates I've seen hover between 4-6 million and organizers say 5 million.

Anyone want to run the numbers on what percent of the population that is?

Because last I heard if you could get 3.5 percent of a population to protest…

3.23% if you estimate a US population of 340M

We are so damn close.

Bearing in mind, the scholarship on this has it defined on a spectrum of outcomes. At 2% of a population mobilized, that movement is assumed to have a 60% chance of success:

I so hope that is true about the 3.5 percent working.

If it was 12 million protesting as reported we made the 3.5 percent!!

“3.5% of the American population is approximately 11 million people, based on a total population of around 330 million. This figure is often referenced in discussions about the effectiveness of nonviolent protests.”
