Overview

• Organizers reported more than 2,700 events nationwide and asserted participation in the millions, figures that lack independent verification.
• Major gatherings took place in Washington, New York, Atlanta, San Francisco and Chicago, with solidarity demonstrations in Canada and several European cities.
• Protesters cited opposition to troop use and National Guard deployments, including actions in Washington and Chicago and plans reported for Boston and New Orleans.
• Events were largely peaceful and at times festive, and Senator Bernie Sanders joined the Washington rally.
• Trump said “I am not a king” in a Fox News interview as aides circulated AI mockery of protesters, and Republicans had denounced the mobilization earlier even as the campaign dismissed it curtly.
