 https://www.mobilize.us/mayday/ also lists protests in New Milford, New Haven and other towns and cities

If everyone who attended an April 5 protest in the US brought one person to another protest, there will be almost 11 million people protesting or 3.5% of the population.

The 3.5% rule suggests that when about 3.5% of a population actively participates in a nonviolent protest, it has historically led to significant political change. This principle is based on research showing that nonviolent movements are twice as likely to succeed compared to violent ones.
