134. The one thing in common is so many more showed up everywhere than anticipated.

I've never seen so many numbers being adjusted UPWARDS for marches as I have today.
Usually it's the opposite as police or municipalities follow up with numbers lower than organizer's counts.
The enthusiasm and urgency of having these today is truly undeniable.
I'll update Atlanta.
Thanks!
