30,000 Rallies, Eight Months: 2025 is Poised to Shatter Records
Add your voice—show up, boycott, and help push the movement forward this week.
I HAVE AMAZING NEWS!!!
As you may know, every week my volunteers and I combine four protest calendaring sites into one list (This week’s is below). Not only does it connect people to action, but it also tracks our movement’s growth.
In 2023, the Crowd Counting Consortium logged 29,500 rallies TOTAL. Their data includes protests from both ends of the political spectrum.
April through November 2025, I have logged 30,069 pro-democracy rallies. In eight months, we’ve exceeded 2023’s counts.
BUT WAIT… it is not the national rallies alone that are driving this growth. When I compare weeks without a No Kings or Good Trouble, I notice a trend.
Here’s an example… This week, there are 841 protests in my list. The week of September 13-19, a week without a national protest, there were 676. And during the week of May 25-30, there were 525.
525 to 676 to 841 = growth
BUT WAIT… I have observed that, conservatively, I miss 15-20% of protests held in a given week. Several groups organize on private Facebook groups, by word of mouth, or on Signal. In other words, that 30,000 is likely closer to 34,000 to 35,000.
Despite the losses on the House and Senate floors this week, our movement is growing. Take heart.

Woooo! 🥳 Fantastic post! Thank you, K. Looking forward to “We Ain’t Buying It” (Nov. 27-Dec. 1). This boycott will be easy for me coz I have observed “Buy Nothing Day” on Black Friday ever since its inception in September 1992. It’s easy to roll in Thanksgiving, the weekend after, and Cyber Monday. No need to buy anything at all during those five days, if you plan ahead (except in case of emergency).
Please please add Class Traitor Joes.
Trader Joe's is in active litigation to persuade the courts to remove protections from all unions. They are a routine violator of labor law and have joined Trump and Musk in arguing the NLRB is unconstitutional.
Unions play a significant role in protecting DEI in the workplace. Unions represent workers, particularly those from underrepresented groups, and give them a voice in workplace policies.
Eliminating labor protections will essentially eliminate DEI.
