If you want to be appalled, read the KSL article about it.

And especially frustrated, read the comment section.

I was there! It did my black little heart good. The next one is April 19th and I fully recommend going if anyone's considering it.

Whoa, that really is a red state and kind of shocking.

Yep, and that wasn't even the only one in Utah! There were multiple protests in every single state. Even the really red ones. Across the country, plenty of deep red small towns had hundreds turn out

Depending on the estimate you look at, there were around 5 million people protesting yesterday

Even half of that estimate is a huge number. Glad to see it.
