These included over 200,000 in New York and over 100,000 in Philadelphia, plus some small towns with sizable crowds for their populations, including the town of Pentwater, Michigan, which saw 400 people join the protest in their 800-person town, the No Kings coalition said.”
Checking in from Ca, great turnout all around the North Bay area. Very kind and supportive people all around. We are standing and marching for a better way forward.
Edit: Drove through some small towns too on the way home and the turnout was amazing in those communities, too. Lots of civically minded and caring folks helping people stay safe and cool in the summer heat as well. Wonderful turnout across all generations.
Nice! I was in Palo Alto today. The sidewalk on Embarcadero was packed from El Camino all the way to Rinconada park. Great turnout. I heard there was a line of people along El Camino from the Palo Alto Telsa dealer to the Sunnyvale Tesla dealer as well but we didn’t check that out.
