Boston probably had somewhere around 50k people. Don’t hear the news media talking numbers or even showing the full crowd. Figures.
Unfortunately it seems like the Democratic Party is doing their best to co-opt the movement with messages like votes, fight with the judiciary, and use politics to obstruct. Look I get it’s the right thing for them to say…
But let’s make sure a populist movement pushes the party way to the left like the much much smaller tea party movement did to the right.
Thanks for posting. This highlights a bit better the size.
And only marginal news coverage… remember when a bunch of geriatrics were role playing as revolutionaries and talking about Obama. Billionaire class owns the media and the parties
I was in Anacortes, WA today for a memorial service of a friend and saw these people! I was honking and giving them thumbs up and everyone in the car was clapping. Yes it’s ironic that I’m in a Tesla. It’s 6 years old, and we cannot sell it because it’s paid off and wayyyy cheaper in WA to charge the car at home vs gas.
Nothing wrong with having bought a Tesla 6 years ago. I hope you've got a sticker of some kind on it saying as much.
We had a pretty good turnout in Ventura CA. It was heartening to see the number of people who showed up. Figured it would be a couple hundred people at most. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBvA3Bp2gwI
I went to the one in my small city in SC. Had a few hundred people along a decently busy road. I was pleasantly surprised as hundreds of passing cars showed support over the 2 hours we were there, and only a dozen or so expressed opposition. I was not surprised that a majority of passers-by didn't engage at all though. The real majority in this country is not left or right, it's apathy.
Denver had a big turnout
