Has anyone posted a number of the total participants in the no kings day protests?

I saw NY was 1 million but I wonder what the numbers were nationwide ?

Where I protested in SF it was the largest I’ve ever experienced outside of a Vietnam protest when I observed when I was a kid and the protests went for miles down a Main Street in SF. I have picture of myself and some friends sitting on our front porch balcony watching it !

Of course M$M is downplaying numbes. They seem incapable of telling the truth.

I'm not vouching for validity of the numbers, just reporting what I'm seeing with the sources.

In the end, the actual numbers aren't as important as the visuals and even more how the media present is and how often the present it. Still, good to know that millions went out (and will do so again).

7. It'll take awhile to figure out

With over 1800 protests across the nation it will take awhile to gather all of the estimates. In Boston, I've seen the number was 1 million. Reports from the downtown San Diego protest said 20,000 protested but that figure was raised to 60,000.
