The one I went to in my city was the biggest crowd I'd ever seen downtown! I hear lots of people say that these protests are useless, but I don't think so. I felt really encouraged to see so many people, and I'm sure others did too.
This parade made demands. This parade called out specific local, state, and federal politicians and campaigned against them. This parade encouraged people to register to vote, to check their registration to vote, and to vote for specific platforms and people.
And even if it had done none of that, it was still a positive experience for me to go. I liked this parade.

Large crowds without demands are parades
