This is a good sign, from how I see it; because it means they’re frightened. They’re downplaying our numbers (some protests boasted up to 20,000 participants) because they want it to SEEM miniscule.

If it really was small and unimportant to them, they would have used the actual numbers. This shows me that they’re intimidated. And they should be. It wasn’t just “thousands” of people. The estimated total nationwide was around 5 MILLION. That’s insane!

I also want to leave a message for all of you.

Ever since November, I’ve fallen into a doom cycle and wasn’t sure if we would make it; how we would make it. I was positive that the Trump administration had infinite, unchecked power, that it was over, etc., etc. I had not been happy or content since November until I had seen the turnout for yesterday’s protests. It was insane.

I wasn’t able to attend, but learning that the FIRST protest garnered an estimated 5 million attendees gives me so much hope and optimism. This is only the beginning; this is only the first nationwide protest. I have no doubt these numbers will begin to multiply.

I feel truly hopeful for the first time in six months; so thank you. I’ll do my part in promoting this movement as a thanks for organizing it in the first place. This has proven to me we are powerful in numbers. You are all wonderful people. I no longer have any doubt that we will, in the end, come out victorious! We will continue to organize and attend protests and reach that needed 3.5%!

❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🤎🖤
