FWIW there was a giant protest in Las Vegas as well.

They listed off several cities grouped by state, and some states seemingly disproportionately represented. (Like 5 cities from Kansas.)
The post author probably just listed of all the cities they could think of that had rallies, likely biased by their geographic familiarity.

I wouldn’t take inclusion or exclusion to mean special or lack of recognition. Everywhere that could showed out to the extent that they could, and that’s what mattered. Heck, people in other countries protested, too!

I would hope it was at least this high in attendance. However, many other sources are saying 6 million on the high end.

What's their methodology

Now get those numbers out on a weekday and keep them there. Then the 3.5% thing works.
