500+ in Hamilton MT & over 1000 in Missoula. There was a major chain delivery semi that gave us a thumbs up with a loud horn. The local evening TV stations gave little to no press. Looking forward to the 19th! Keep the pressure on!

I posted a bunch of articles on my page nationally. They deflated the crowd sizes to appease a certain person.. but boy did we show up yesterday! There's tons of coverage on youtube if you type "protests April 5th" on youtube it's all over bluesky social media

I’m from St. Paul, MN, but my husband and I are visiting Portland, OR, so we joined the protest there. It was amazing!!! Huge turnout, with music, dancing, great signs, and lots of joyful resistance. The whole day was so inspiring!

I had a choice between 5 protests within a 15 minute drive here in SF's Bay Area. I chose what I thought would be the smallest - Ha! According to the organizers' email just now, there were at least 1,000 people with me at Alameda City Hall. Amazing!

Don't know the count, but I'd estimate at least 300 people turned out in a cold drizzle for inspiring speeches in Princeton NJ. There were also events in at least five other towns within 20 miles of us.
