11 m may be overstating it, but 4-6 million is still huge and shows massive momentum!

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop!

Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

"No Kings Day" protests turn out millions

Our unofficial estimate is that around 4 million people attended a protest event yesterday. Anti-Trump resistance is outpacing 2017.

Unofficial tally from reputable source says 4-6 million participated in NO KINGS day—ie nearly 2 percent of the country

Acc to Erica Chenoweth’s research, to arrest authoritarianism, 3.5 percent of the population needs to be mobilized

We are getting close!!

Why is the unelected leader of Baltimore County, a county notorious for corruption since the days of Spiro Agnew, refusing to reappoint the county's award-winning corruption-fighting inspector general Kelly Madigan?

Corruption in our local Baltimore County government goes back to the days of Spiro Agnew--and now with the billionaire coup unfolding in Washington, DC, it's more critical than ever that we speak out against it!
