How MANY in California went to 3/19/05 Protests?

Per the United for Peace and Justice events calendar and the anti-war vigil listings of the American Friends Service Committee and Sojourners Magazine these were cities that had protests scheduled in your state.

CALIFORNIA: Alameda, Albion, Altadena, Bakersfield, Belmont, Benicia, Berkeley, Bishop, Brentwood, Camarillo, Capistrano Beach, Castro Valley, Cazadero, Chico, Claremont, Clayton, Cloverdale, Corona, Costa Mesa, Cupertino, Davis, Eagle Rock, El Centro, Encinitas, Eureka, Fairfax, Fallbrook, Fort Bragg, Fresno, Glendora, Hollister, Hollywood, Huntington Beach, Idylwild, Irvine, La Canada, Lafayette, Lakeport, Livermore, Loomis, Los Angeles, Malibu, Mendocino, Mill Valley, Mountain View, Mt. Shasta, Napa, Newbury Park, Oakland, Oxnard, Pacific Palisades, Pacifica, Palm Springs, Palo Alto, Pasadena, Penn Valley, Petaluma, Piedmont, Placerville, Pleasanton, Point Arena, Redding, Redlands, Reedley, Riverside, Rohnert Park, San Bruno, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, San Luis Obispo, San Rafael, Santa Barbara, Santa Clarita, Santa Cruz, Santee, Sausalito, Sebastopol, Sonora, Susanville, Thousand Oaks, Torrance, Tustin, Valencia, Van Nuys, Ventura, Walnut Creek, West Hollywood, Willits

Due to a media blackout, we don't know how many attended.

Someone reported on my main thread that 2,000 people showed up in Hollywood for protests. Pics will be posted when they get developed.

I attended a Protest March in Minneapolis, MN. One of several and I know we had 1,500 - which the media reported as "over 1,000" and provided terrible pictures.

The DU has better pics:

1. Los Altos should have been there (on the list)
It was not, but I (and daughter) were there.

4. I did in Davis, CA
but they hold them every single Saturday and have since 9/11. It's
more a peace vigil than a protest. I would have loved to have gone
to SF but it wasn't in the cards. That's OK, we still got in the
local paper for Davis. I was also pleasantly surprised to see in my
local paper for another town in the area which is blatantly Repub,
that they had a veteran on the front page holding a sign that
read "Bush lied and my son died!!" The few Bush supporters in the area need that shoved in their faces!

They are starting to see and hear us!
