If your numbers are correct for possible attendance on June 14, we are past the 3.5 percentage mark that has sometimes been used to claim a change is gonna come. Here here to that!

The spreadsheet where I record the count shows the averages based on the data we have. I’ll be reporting as the numbers come in.

It has to be sustained over a long period of time.

One day won’t be enough, but I sure am happy that the numbers are going up! 👍💙🔆

The 3.5% has to be simultaneous, not collective over time.

That's what I was wondering.

Also I wondered, when they use this stat, is it assumed the 3.5% is all together or in separate parts of the country, like we will be?

On day and more than one. So let’s say June 14 hits 11 million. We’d have to sustain that over a couple of protests.

Ok so multiple days and even if we are not all combined in one protest location...I hope many people are keen to this and we can make that happen...

11.5 million people all across the country. That’s a HUGE protest. I’m 66 years old and remember Vietnam War protests. Nothing came close to this but it was a concerted effort. And it worked. Once the veil is breached, those losers in Washington DC will fall. But it’s got to be sustained…not just one day! During the 60s and 70s, there were constant protests: civil rights, women’s rights, anti-war, gay rights. It was a convulsion of the oppressed and it worked. It wasn’t perfect but we could begin to breathe and grow and change.
