"No Kings organizers estimated the day’s events have so far drawn millions of people, with some hundreds still under way in all 50 states and to some cities abroad. These included over 200,000 in New York and over 100,000 in Philadelphia, plus some small towns with sizable crowds for their populations, including the town of Pentwater, Michigan, which saw 400 people join the protest in their 800-person town, the No Kings coalition said."

I don't know how many chicago had but I joked it felt like so many the edge or it was going to meet up with the edge of suburban ones. Even people not in it were waving from buildings and cars and the cars were honking but in the kind of supportive honk way. There was one guy with a bullhorn counter protesting but the crowd chanted him down with shame. shame. shame. and well it pretty much goes on like that till you moved passed him.

I can say it took awhile before the march began and I heard the cpd was saying their was to many for the route to handle but they finally got it going (Im betting they were telling them that do they want to tell all these people they can't march). If that number is 20k I mean......
