Some say it WAS the LARGEST One day Political Protest EVER….
There IS a estimate below….
But it IS something the main Street Media seems to want to forget to keep Trump from getting on their case…
That same Donald that is out with vedieo of him shitting on the demonstrators?
*Excluding the 1970s Earth Day events, which aren’t directly comparable as they involved much more planning and weren’t similarly political.
Strength In Numbers partnered with independent Atlanta-based science newsroom The Xylom on Oct. 18, 2025, to produce a crowdsourced estimate of turnout for the second “No Kings Day” protests held around the country. This follows our first attempt at crowdsourced crowd-counting for the first protests held in June.
Our median estimate is that 5.2 million people participated in a No Kings Day demonstration somewhere in the country on Saturday, with an upper bound of 8.2 million people. We provide an “estimate” and not a “count” because we are making predictions of turnout in protest sites where official records are still missing.
Our estimate is based on reports from local officials, local organizers, and attendees, and suggests the count from organizers — who report 7 million participantsnationwide — may be a bit optimistic (but is not impossible). Still, regardless of whether the precise number is 5, 6, 7, or 8 million, Saturday’s events are very likely the biggest single-day protest event since 1970, surpassing even the 2017 Women’s March demonstrations against Trump.
The protests come as Donald Trump’s approval rating hit a new low last week, and as Democrats look likely to win upcoming races for governor in New Jersey and Virginia.
Our crowdsourced estimates are free to access here, and we hope they will be useful to researchers and journalists trying to enhance our collective understanding of political and protest activity in America. We think live, comprehensive, systematic tracking of First Amendment activity fills a large hole in traditional media coverage of political protests (which are dominated by guesses and anecdotal evidence). Where possible in our tracking, we preferred official reports over attendee estimates, and roughly validated those accounts with photographic and video evidence.
We stress again that this is an “estimate” and not a “count.”….
Note…
No reports of ‘Violence’, eh?
Wash Post..…
More than 7 million people are estimated to have participated in last weekend’s No Kings protests in more than 2,600 locations around the country. The protests were some of the biggest mass demonstrations in American history and spoke to the sharp polarization of politics under President Donald Trump.
The crowds — which held 2 million more people than the last No Kings demonstrations in June — could be seen as a stark warning for Trump about the weakening support for his agenda….
…
But the idea that the protests were made up solely of only far-left Americans is hard to reconcile with the sheer scale of the demonstrations. Attendance at the No Kings protests far outnumbered the 2017 Women’s March, which brought out about 4.6 million people, according to the most generous estimates….
