Protest everywhere troops & goons are not. If they show up, melt away and set up at 3 intersections away diagonally.
It's not about confrontation. It's about protest. Be visible and be like water. They can't stomp away all the water. People on foot can move faster than semi-organized goons can regroup. Be safe. Don't sit down (don't get trampled and injured). Don't buy into the idea of "not ceding the streets". Be on the streets, just not on Goon Street. There are more of us than there are goons.
It's not about confrontation. Leave that to the pRoud bOys and the agents provocateur. Water is seen, water is everywhere, water persists. It's about being seen and persisting.
There's a lot more water than sand. Blue Storm Surge 2026. Be seen and be safe.

Total attendees 375,500 with these 856 cities participating.
Minimum number of folks attending No Kings Protest by city size in the U.S.
Worldwide....who knows.
I think with all 2000 cities participating we should reach at least 1 million protesters.
Your thoughts ?

I would not be surprised if 10,000,000 turn out. About 3.5% of US population. Not a prediction or necessarily an expectation, but certainly an optimistic hope. We got more than a million out on previous weekends; it would be interesting to know the estimates.
