*** This event is scheduled for a Thursday. In my opinion a Saturday protest would allow more people to attend.

About this event...
Good Trouble Lives On: A Day of Action

On July 17, the anniversary of Congressman John Lewis’s passing, People Power United is hosting a virtual event to honor his legacy and defend our rights and freedoms.

As Trump and his allies push voter suppression bills like the SAVE Act and criminalize protest, we’re rising up in nonviolent resistance—because in America, the power belongs to the people.

This isn’t just a virtual rally. It’s a moral stand. It’s Good Trouble—alive and marching forward.

Join us.

3. I did the math.

The No Kings turnout was just under the 3.5% of the population needed (according to the 3.5% Rule) to effect change and stop authoritarians from seizing control of a given nation. I think July 17th is an important increment. However, I believe that at some point, we may ALL have to show up in Washington DC, en masse, to insure victory. Nixon explicitly feared Vietnam protesters would break into the White House and "get him" That's where we have to take this now.

5. Yes, Malcolm Nance said

today and that 11.5 million showed up and Philly was huge since there was no protest in DC.
The 6:15 time stamp

A guy from San Diego did the math and he got the same results I did with a different method. Mine is based on the 28 protests I attended between 2016-2020. I've begun to estimate fairly accurately from my experience and my trusty pocket calculator. I counted all the protests on June 1st and kept track for over 2 weeks to get an idea of the general direction of the progress. I knew NO KINGS would be huge due to all the recent immigration/deportation BS of team tRump.

I bet if there were a protest in DC tRump would either start a war as a distraction or he'd get out of Dodge fast since he is a coward and he can't hide behind his big, beautiful flagpoles.

Hit the streets if you can! It would be great if we showed up in greater numbers than last time.
