Overview

• Crowds on Demand reported a 400% year-over-year surge in requests for paid protesters after President Trump federalized law enforcement in Washington, D.C.
• CEO Adam Swart said participants are typically paid between the low hundreds and a few hundred dollars based on location, duration and event challenges.
• Swart affirmed the firm serves both Democratic and Republican clients, noting it often works for the opposition party to support underdog causes.
• The company insists on deploying only peaceful, law-abiding demonstrators and declined a roughly $20 million contract tied to nationwide anti-Trump protests.
• Media interviews on Fox News, the Daily Caller and Townhall have intensified demands for clearer disclosure of who finances paid protest operations.
