No Kings Day Demonstration

Estimating crowds is an inexact science, especially when trying to survey a nationwide movement, but here are statistics from the three No Kings Day rallies so far:

  • June 2025: about 4–6 million participants
  • October 2025: about 5–7 million participants
  • March 2026: Rough estimate: 8–9+ million participants nationwide

The numbers are increasing but there is still a long way to go. Sociologists estimate that at least 3.5% of a population need to actively work for change before social systems change. Louisville had an outpouring greater than its metro size would suggest (Go The Ville!) and the number of vehicles honking their horns in support was much greater than last time but we still have a way to go!

No Kings Day Demonstration

Louisville organized two large demonstrations today, one near Nazareth Home where I live. They were well attended! Super!

A group of us priests participate in these demonstrations. Today three of us were at the Frankfort Avenue rally and the others went to the larger rally downtown. Here John Burke and I finally meet up after looking for each other in the crowd.
