Billionaires start wars. Our kids bleed for them. It won’t be Trump’s children dying in the Middle East — it’ll be working-class kids sent to die for his ego. If you won’t sacrifice your child for that, call your reps NOW. Block this war. Demand a vote.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Post from "alt national park service" account reading "From coast to coast, city streets to small town squares, you showed up. And it mattered. Honored to announce: 12.1 million in attendance." 
The 12.1 million figure is 300 percent more than every estimate produced by experts and scholars who carefully went through nationwide reports.
