The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

8. Hailey, Idaho

100 turned out for a pop up protest with 3 days notice!

[electric_blue68]

9. We had two in Akron, OH

Turnout was smaller than 4/5 - BUT the start of the protest coincided with pull-your-car-over-not-safe-to-drive rains and the two were simultaneous (so you had to choose).

I took my latest art piece. I decided it needed to go work, rather than hang around on my wall.

[electric_blue68]

16. Well done! I remember you woking on that. 👍

12. Now we're talking

Great crowds.

[1WorldHope]

17. Yay, it makes me happy to hear!

I couldn't participate today. But we did drive by here in Lincoln NE. I went late and I'll bet there were 300-400 or more I never was good at estimating crowd sizes.

18. around 50 in our tiny town of Eureka Springs, AR

we're in the middle of tornado and severe storm watches.

21. Kick Some More.. TY!

[Martin68]

22. Very heartening.

23. Joshua Tree

Close to 400 demonstrators in the little desert community of Joshua Tree, Ca. We were @ 600 feet from the Joshua Tree National Park visitor center. Responses from passing motorists were uniformly enthusiastic and supportive.

24. Anyone hear how it compared to two weeks ago?

[OMGWTF]

25. We had 400 in my small town and 500 in the town next door, plus lots of support from drivers passing by.

It was cold and rained the entire time, but I had a great experience and met some really cool people. My sign read: "Too much shit to list" on one side and "F ELON & 47" on the other side. Some of the others I liked were: "If you can't spot the con, you are the mark. Wake up!" "That smell of a rotting Republic is MUSKy" "The Emperor's new clothes (T💩p in an orange jumpsuit)" and "Measles Are Going Around" (MAGA). The last one was written on a white board this guy bought because there is so much to protest against. I thought it was a great idea.
