“The upcoming April 19th protest is themed “Mourning America.”

We’re grieving the erosion of our rights, our freedoms, and our future.

We are asking all attendees to wear black clothing — a powerful symbol of collective mourning and resistance.

Throughout history, black has been worn in protest to show defiance, unity, and grief — from the women of Argentina’s Madres de Plaza de Mayo, to the Black Panthers, to modern-day movements for justice around the world.

We wear black because we mourn — but we also fight. Let our silence be loud. Let our presence be unforgettable."

Another thing I need to mention about yesterday's protest in Wheeling, WV. At one point, a funeral procession rolled through with about a dozen cars. Everybody went completely silent. The bullhorns and the chanting stopped. Signs were lowered. Ball caps were removed. We shared a moment of silence, all without a single order to do so. It was a beautiful moment seeing so much dignity and respect coming from a group of people.

oregonlive · Thousands in Portland protest Trump’s policies: ‘We’ve been very ready to get out and march’By Tatum Todd | The Oregonian/OregonLive

US Nationwide - 5 million (2% of the population)

Michigan -

Canton - 1,300
Detroit - 6,000
Lansing - 10,000
Novi - 1,500
Troy - 2,000

What is really noticeable is that there are towns that have never had protests before that are averaging 1,200+ protestors.

The news is either not mentioning estimated numbers or are giving radically smaller estimates. #HandsOff #HandsOff2025
