This is wonderful and doesn't even count some of the protests that popped up in some neighborhoods that I don't think were officially registered as part of this movement because they have been having ongoing protests (I am encouraging 2 of them to get hooked up with you guys 🤞)

Boston fully counts, it just can’t be used in the averages as it skews them. It is 100% in the final count.

Thank you! I reported data for Hilton Head, SC and inadvertently put my name in the name of the protest….when you get a chance please change that to “No Kings.”

Thanks 😊

My understanding is there were something like aa minimum of 30 to 40 demonstrations in other parts of the world. I know tere was one in London. Democrats Abroad might have some better information on minimum # of demonstrations abroad and the numbers at least at some of those demonstrations.

Police in Philadelphia estimated 100,000 per the Inquirer. Surprised your #s are lower. I know of 4 greater Philly area/neighborhood protests that aren’t here and one in Alameda CA. If I know that many, there will be so many more! I will try to get the word out to make contact but most were pop up one or two person-inspired last minute events. I’m told by family Alameda had 3K. Inquirer said Ardmore PA had 1k.

If you’ve seen an article with that number, I can update the count :)

I got three estimates of crowd size at Vineyard Haven, on Martha’s Vineyard. Two event coordinators and one newspaper reporter agreed on 1,000 attendees, double the number at the Hands Off protest in April.

Thank you so much for all your energy and work! I look forward to hearing the best estimate of how many people demonstrated yesterday.

I forwarded your Substack to my official counter, and she really enjoyed it! All three of the apps she attempted to use to count crashed… But she persisted!

We must persist. lol! Sometimes technology is not our friend.

I was thinking that maybe they crashed because so many people were trying to use them… Perhaps.

There were at least 3,000 at the protest in the tiny SE Michigan town I live in. And there were protests in tons of similarly small towns all over the state.

Thanks for all the organizing! I posted a photo on my substack home page of the Topeka Kansas 6/14 rally, well attended, good crowd, no incidents. My best guess 2000 or more attended, biggest compared to the rally I attended ‘Hands Off’ Topeka 4/05 but I missed 4/19. I looked at your google docs count, and the Topeka event was not even listed, not sure where the organizers are on that, several other cities missing (Manhattan? Emporia? Salina, Lawrence)

Ocean City, New Jersey had an estimated 2,100 + protesters. My husband was a volunteer coordinator and was very careful in counting.

He doesn't have a form. He did this on his own. Can you send a form and I will make sure it's forwarded on to the head of the protest committee. Send it to my email address as an attachment so I can print it out. Or tell me where to download the form. Thanks!

Keep them coming! We aren’t compatible though making our point and the more we are out the harder it will be for them to ignore.

Really appreciated this. I’ve seen sober announcements of 5-6 million and extremely excited announcements of 11-13 million. “It’s complicated” seems always to be the right (and not very popular) answer, and I get tired of reading declarations and not knowing what to believe.
