It was at the steps of the county courthouse. I estimate about 5k people there at the peak, possibly more. Young, old, lots of diversity. Lots of signs. a few Trumper types showed up but the cops watched them closely. They hung around for a short time then left. I'd post photos but I don't know how to here on DU.
