In Paris we demonstrated at Place de la Bastille and we also registered many US citizens to vote. When thinking about the cost of driving to your voter registration center to register to vote in person as would be required by the SAVE Act, think about what it would mean for the millions of us who live overseas. I would have to get back to Boston every year to register. I use my travel money to visit family - who are not in Boston. It's a voter disenfranchisement act. Probably no need to have mentioned this to your readers!

It's not much but we had 75 brave souls in Hillsdale, MI. Thanks to all who showed up everywhere, special thanks to those who stood up with us in the home of Project 2025.

For a city like Hillsdale, that’s impressive!

I grew up near that little burg. Brave souls indeed. Hillsdale College and Albion College is near there.

Our detractors are saying protestors were paid, or suffer from derangement or were organized by a few with money or they just try to ignore us. But we know in our hearts and minds that we were protesting against a threat that only our voices and bodies can stop. They cannot minimize what we know to be the truth. They will not sway us with their lies. We know. And that good trouble we showed on Saturday will not be put back in the box.

North Charleston SC… estimated 7 THOUSAND peaceful protesters. Unbelievable positive energy running through the crowd. Received mostly all thumbs up and excited honking!!

The largest crowd I have ever seen at a local protest. Only one person gave the finger everybody else supported heart and supported us. I protested in a very small town, a couple miles outside of Detroit and we had several hundred people.

In Gainesville, Florida we had over 4,000 people. Peaceful and well done. We have had it with this administration.

My wife and I attended a neighborhood "sidewalk" rally in Chicago (Edgewater) as we have the two times before. This time we noticed that while the crowd size was about the same, there were more "homemade signs" and more cars that came down the street between the rally-goers honked their horns. In other words, there was more enthusiasm than the two before.

Downtown Indianapolis had about 10k. The energy was amazing! Very peaceful as well.

In Glens Falls, New York, about 20 minutes north of Saratoga Springs, thousands of us protested loud and proud. Hundreds of cars and trucks and even tractor trailers honked their horns with excitement as they drove down the main strip and city park in the downtown area. Thousands of signs, varying statements, always the United purpose. We want change. We want this criminal president gone. We want this administration gone. We want Trump behind bars. We want our economy back. We want ICE to stop committing crimes against immigrants and refugees. We want our country back! It was a beautiful day of unity and strength, and it was empowering. I hope the White House is shaking in their boots because this movement has legs and we aren’t going anywhere. ✊

I'm 76. My wife is 78. We rallied at two NKD3..one in Overland Park, KS in the morning one in Kansas City, MO in the afternoon including a giant (for Kansas City) parade. The numbers were amazing. Many more than we saw for NKD2. All ages were there. Very encouraging. Now....to get everyone eligible to VOTE come November! Kansas and Missouri representatives of course are doing everything they can to stifle this Act of voting.

Washington, North Carolina- My wife and I attended the 1st time ever rally in Washington NC with close to 200 protesters. We marched, chanted and rejoiced as we gained strength from one another in opposing this vicious regime in a very red area.

706 in upstate central NYS. Cold, windy, snowing and energized! In the small rural community of Hamilton NY we filled the Village Green. Speakers, including our wonderful Congressman John Mannion and our Singing Resistance group brought hope to the forefront. In the words of Robert Hubbell: this all stops when enough of us say 'NO'!"

In the suburbs of Northern Virginia, we had sign savings and bridge brigades every few miles and some of theses were miles long. And then there were the huge crowd that marched across Memorial Bridge to DC. Cars driving by were overwhelmingly supportive. (The MAGA side, though, is getting angry and mean.). More people brought their kids.

In Fort Myers Florida the crowd size was hopeful and joyful and the reasons for change were endless. Cheers for Democracy!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I demonstrated in a solidly red town in NJ. It took place on a major highway in Union County. 95% of the cars that passed by honked in support. Very few Trump cars/flags/middle fingers. It was peaceful, rambunctious, uplifting. The only way they don’t lose the midterms, bigly, is if he cancels the vote. I’m 64, I have never seen such polarization against anything or anyone.
