Show Notes
Thousands gathered across Montana on March 28, 2026, for No Kings protests against President Trumps policies, with estimates ranging from 27,000 to 30,000. However, media reports, including Montana Free Press, put Missoulas attendance at around 3,500, sparking debates. Organizers used various methods to count attendees, while reporters relied on conservative aerial views and videos. The accuracy of crowd-counting methods was questioned, with experts emphasizing the importance of density-by-area calculations and avoiding unrealistic densities. These numbers significantly impact political perceptions and organizer momentum, leading to calls for standardized methods in future crowd estimates.
