29. In the Clackamas Town Center (Oregon) there were LONG lines of people.

On every grassy curb area, around the extensive parking lot areas. Along every sidewalk, lining every driveway that wove through the area. From what I could see, it was single file lines of people. Of every age, some with baby strollers, quite a few elders in wheelchairs. A whole lot of everybody, and it was a challenge to locate where the lines started and/or ended. HUGELY encouraging!

And I didn’t find a single person there who was in a bad mood. It was a VERY happy, lighthearted, and tremendously congenial crowd. Everybody looked like they were glad to be there, and many had friends and family members with them. Just SOOOOOOOOO SATISFYING!!!

My only takeaway: I wanna do this AGAIN! WHEN’S the next one? (Actually I’ve already heard there IS a next one - in a couple of weeks, and us Indivisibles will be at that one, too!)

No mention of a methodology to figure it out. 2 Meow Momma Jun 17 #58

Agreed -- I'll take 5M as their reasonable estimate, though I know there were additional protests not registered LauraInLA Jun 17 #59
