What I've observed is that word of mouth, local TV, social media, etc. generate community excitement... and it's a Saturday to boot. At the 2016 St. Petersburg Women's March, only about 1500 people officially signed up as "going", but it was estimated that as many as 5000 would show up. Well.... 20,000 marched and many of those decided to join in on the day of the march. Whole neighborhoods emptied out into the streets.
Orange is the color of the day for our March... or blue. I'll be there in my Dayglo Orange sweatshirt (and socks to match) that I bought in 1965 at a little shop in Speculator, NY. I knew I hung onto them for a reason.
