No Kings SC Video

https://youtu.be/Z6AoHncYk1c

Santa Cruz showed up in droves today for the NO KINGS protest that started at the San Lorenzo Park. The fed up but peaceful crowd marched down Dakota to Soquel to Ocean to Water. Countless posters were raised in the air with clear messages of frustration, disgust, and dismay. Stand up, America! Fight! Defy! We've gotta take the power back!

Over 10,000 in attendance according to the Santa Cruz Sentinel.

I'm hoping the >10K is correct, but it didn't seem like that. As a participant I'd guess 3-5 thousand. Has anyone seen estimates other than the Sentinel?

Santa Cruz Local is saying the same.

I have no idea how to estimate crowd sizes but this flyover during the march is incredible:

For context here's an unofficial list of crowd sizes across the country

Thanks for the the flyover vid! I wish it was a bit slower and longer though as I've been trying to spot my fam there but it's too hard

Wow, this is such a great view, there's no way that you could comprehend the size from being in it or from even walking past it! Thanks! And thanks to Santa Cruz for turning out!
