Operation Transparency demands the U.S. Department of Justice release the #EpsteinFiles with all alleged perpetrators' names by December 19, 2025 or else we will serve a People's Warrant & execute a nonviolent Civilian Document Release #OperationTransparency #PeoplesWarrant #CivilianDocumentRelease

As of right now, we have public sources that show at least 2,333,343 people protested across the country yesterday.

If the averages hold, that will total 5,540,343 which would be the national record of the largest protester turn out in one day!

But we would like to solidify that 🧵 #NoKings

I’m severely disabled. Today, I participated by wearing yellow in public. The No Kings coalition chose the color not me. Wearing coordinated colors is a type of action the Crowd Counting Consortium (CCC) includes in their dataset. For most people the closest public space is just off their property

No Kings Day just begun in Guam!
While much of the mainland is still gearing up for No Kings Day, Guam has kicked off the first protest of the day; hours ahead of the rest of us, where it’s already Saturday morning!
This is what a nation rising in unity looks like. Guåhan, thank you!

I wish the No Kings coalition would have welcomed the We Count Project to the organizing table because they’re dropping the ball in crowd counting preparation & giving incorrect information about largest protest days. We asked them for 9 things & instead of engaging with us they left us out #NoKings

Why demonstrations matter:loyalty shifts, policy changes, election results! Plant those seeds, drive onto those on-ramps, open those gates! The only thing more dangerous than overestimating the power of protest is underestimating it. Trump’s pushback proves these protests are working #50501 #NoKings

Protests count. And so should we! On No Kings Day, this Saturday, October 18th, let's make sure our resistance is felt for generations to come! How do we do that? We count! Will you count with us? Get started at: WeCountProject.com #50501 #NoKings #WeCount Protests count. And so do we!

Oh! That’s okay! I’m severely disabled myself due to chronic illness. There’s are still ways you can be counted as protesting on Saturday without physically being at a protest location. drive.proton.me/urls/JYH75YN...

Does anyone know if someone’s assigned to crowd counting on Saturday?More than half of our protests go uncounted & that means our impact gets overlooked.Heres a short video from The We Count Project on why counting matters and how to do it

Wear Yellow in public 10/18 as a dispersed collective action. Yellow is the color of resistance. Can’t make it to a protest location? You can still be counted! Make a public source with the We Count Project public source creator. Submit to the Crowd Counting Consortium (CCC). Stand with us. #NoKings
October 14, 2025 at 2:03 AM
The Crowd Counting Consortium says the record for most protest locations in one day: 4,470 in 2018. 10/18, No Kings Day already has 2,100+ sites. Small or large, every protest counts. More events build momentum, a key predictor of leaders resigning early. Register & report at nokings.com #NoKings

Volunteer with the We Count Project: Help Defend Democracy Through Accurate Protest Data
The We Count Project is looking for dedicated volunteers who can commit 3–5 hours per week for at least 3 months. We are a grassroots effort working to document protest data #50501
September 26, 2025 at 12:29 PM
The mean is 650. That means 450 real protesters who were there vanished from CCC’s final count because the journalists used a vague description.

Is anyone able to help me with this project? #50501 #NoKings #WeCount #HelpWanted #Journalists @crowdcounting.bsky.social @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social

Hello all, I started a campaign to identify journalists who use vague terms to describe protest participant counts like "hundreds" because we are losing protesters in the Crowd Counting Consortium (CCC) record over these terms being used.🧵 #50501 #NoKings #HelpWanted #Journalists #Protests #WeCount

Not everyone can travel to protest locations & that’s okay. Barriers like caregiving, disability, trauma, safety, or lack of transit keep many away. But people still want to be counted. And they can be anonymously counted for doing dispersed collective actions (public coordinated acts of solidarity)

The 50501 movement invites people in Puerto Rico, Guam & the U.S. Virgin Islands to join us on Saturday, October 18th for No Kings Day. The Crowd Counting Consortium (CCC) includes protest data from these U.S Territories. So, any protests in these territories will count towards our national totals!
September 19, 2025 at 6:06 PM
No protester uncounted! Protests count and so should we! We need a better plan to make sure all 10/18 protesters end up in CCC’s dataset! What’s the plan No Kings coalition? @indivisible.org #NoKingsKickoff
September 19, 2025 at 2:08 AM
We have tens or hundreds of thousand (if not millions) of anti-Trump, pro-democracy protesters missing from the Crowd Counting Consortium (CCC)’s official dataset! @indivisible.org needs to step up it’s crowd counting strategy if they hope to make 10/18 the largest turn out #NoKingsKickoff
