At the one I attended people were coming and going over the course of the event. Which indicates the total who attended was higher by some margin than the max crowd size at any given point.

I think your figure for Boston is a large overestimate. The source is a unattributed number in a news article with no sources; that's not reliable!

The spreadsheet has less than half the locations - but that doesn’t mean the data is inherently underestimated by half. From the ~750 locations on the spreadsheet, there were 2.7 million attendees! The spreadsheet uses that to estimate total turnout across the nation.

Yes! We had 5500 in Ventura and over 2000 in Simi Valley, home of the Reagan Library and only city in Ventura County that went for Trump in 2024.

Roseville, CA estimate was 5,000 according to the Sacramento Bee.

Same. We had huge crowds in places like Maryville and Oak Ridge, TN. Not just the usual Nashville & Memphis.

Exactly. The number is conservative. Imagine the reality

I think honk and fist bump, peace signs could be count at least by level. We do intersection actions too. Like never stop, many honks, moderate honking and not many. There are also big rig airhorns. Trucker are pissed over the tariffs limiting business.

As my wife said back in anti-war protest days, you can at least see the ratio of thumbs up to other fingers.

I can't speak to all of these, but I do know that there were ones that popped up in places that weren't planned. I saw that there was a large group in Gulfport, in St. Petersburg. It wasn't a planned location.

I have to tell you I took an additional 6 unregistered attendees-and no one had to be paid to go.

Now what? Americans need to go on strike. The general strike US

Hi, organizer in New York here. Your New York numbers are way off. It was about 200k. Corrections should be going out. We filled over a mile of the city with dense crowd for 3 hours. That whole time the march route was refilling with new people. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This is also different methodology than was used for April 5. If you compare the AltNPS counts and assume that they used the same methodology both times, it’s clear that there WAS about 2x turnout this time! We just don’t know what their methodology or data source is, so it can’t be peer reviewed.

The "crowd-sourced" sheet I've seen estimated 5,000 for Denver, which is absurd -- that's what was estimated for Boulder, and half of what was estimated for the smaller city of Fort Collins, CO. The local news made an estimate from a drone or plane *after the No Kings event ended.* So frustrating.

Thanks for your work on this!

I don't see any methods described by that account? Do you have a link?
