WiFi wasn’t great during the protest so here are some videos from earlier in the day. I noticed a wide variety of people in the crowd.

There was a small band toward the back of the protest crowd. They also led a few chants ahead of the main program for the protest.

This is a view of the crowd from the press risers. Again, organizers tell me more than 200,000 people came out today. This is a major increase from June’s protests, most of the folks I talked with told me this was their first No Kings protest.

There’s a large presence from the Free DC movement too. This is a local grassroots movement to push for statehood for DC and maintain Home Rule for the city.
