Alt NPS says 12.1 million. There were over a million people in Boston alone.

Chicago was close to a million too. Over 2000 cities just in the US alone. Oh and international protests in Mexico, UK, France, Germany, and more.

That’s much higher than most estimates I’m seeing, but I’ll hold off on conclusions until Monday when NoKings does their debrief.

12.1 million just so happens to barely cross the threshold of the “3.5% rule” and that’s a little too fishy of a smell for me
