Overview
- Organizers estimate roughly seven million people participated at more than 2,500 sites across all 50 states, with independent crowd counts still being reconciled.
- Local reports described overwhelmingly peaceful events, with Los Gatos police confirming no arrests as demonstrations wrapped up.
- Coalition groups convened an Oct. 21 virtual meeting with about 40,000 attendees to build a durable framework and gather input on next steps.
- Plans under discussion include another coordinated day of protest, expanded noncooperation tactics, and general‑strike ideas promoted by labor leaders and big‑city officials.
- President Trump and Republican allies derided the protests and shared AI mockery or false claims, while a YouGov survey found about 34% strongly approve of the actions.
