Much larger than the prior "No Kings" rally. More younger folks. The mayor attended (Shamus Malik). One counter-protester who challenged one of ours to beat him up. She laughed at him.

Here's a few photos, including one of me with my art project, now doubling as a protest banner.

The rally extended more than a block in each direction from the light visible in this photo.
