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.
