I've been touching base with contacts all over Iowa today. My best estimate is around 30,000 people showed up, but it could be a little less or it could be as many as 35,000. (I have not been able to find a solid crowd estimate for the biggest rally in Des Moines, which certainly had thousands of people.)
The population of Iowa is around 3.2 million so it appears that close to 1 percent of residents showed up today.
Enormously useful work. On the crowd-sourced forms, can you clarify the process for updating crowd numbers. Or maybe create new columns so people can submit credible links to updated numbers without overwriting the original, or having to fill out the whole separate form. That way your team can compare them.
I'm in Seattle, for instance. Our NBC affiliate, KING TV said attendance was nearly 90,000, while the current estimate just says 20,001. King's said the larger number does come from organizers, but from my experience, everyone I talked with, and how long the march stretched, it was far larger than the June one estimated at 70,000.
Here's the article with the nearly 90,000 estimate
So would like an easier way for people to add updates of this kind, without overwriting what's originally posted--perhaps by adding a couple of additional columns.
Will do. But can you clarify that process a bit more on the spreadsheet instructions so it's clear for other people as well? I suspect there will be a lot of places where initial media estimates are low, but then later stories come up with additional coverage with larger numbers.
This is fantastic work of sourcing reports of crowds across many, many geographies, small to large. I am hopeful that people will keep updating the numbers on the spreadsheet in the upcoming days. Bravo
I demonstrated at a NO KINGS protest in Bremen, Germany yesterday. Because I am a member of Indivisible Abroad as well as Indivisible Chicago, I was getting reports of demonstrations around the world as well. For example Paris reported over 1000 people at their demonstration. I don't know the numbers in Ireland. Our demonstration had about 110-120 people and some were Germans, and some American and German, but there were people from another country at ours as well. There were 3 other official demonstrations in Germany (Berlin, Nuremberg, Frankfurt), and I know several in other European countries had demonstrations too. While I did not hear from Mexico they had several cities involved in the June No Kings, so I am sure they did this time as well. So, of the presumed 7-11 million Americans living abroad a portion of those demonstrated too along with people from the countries we live in. It might be too complicated for you to assess, but we registered our count with Indivisible.

Yes. add sources in the green cells, we will update them in the gray. (Or you can add a comment)

Also I don't see a comment column. Can you add one?

Nit: the Y axis label in the scatterplot says July but your text implies it should say October.
Sorry, thanks.
This is now fixed in the online version.
