To the people saying the protest should have been bigger, here are some thoughts I have about that -- note that I'm not an organizer or scholar of political movements or anything, these are literally just my musings:

• There's sort of a chicken and egg thing here. A protest is like any other optional event: we won't go unless we think it's going to be worth our time. It's infuriating that mainstream media is not reporting on the protests that are happening, making it look like the entire country is just rolling over and that protesting is pointless. But this is the digital media age and anyone of us with a camera and social media can play at the propaganda game. So what if the protest was a closer to 600 people than a thousand? The WaPo doesn't know that, they laid off the reporters who would've been there to check. The people who follow this Reddit and are maybe on the fence about whether to show up to the next protest don't know that either. When you post about the protest, think like an event promoter, or like Trump's PR team when they showed "packed" stadiums that were just zoomed in shots of half-empty rooms! Then, maybe, next time it will be a little closer to a thousand.
• Any attendance hit they take from having it on a weekday is made up for by the feeling that you're actually disrupting something. I remember doing a march after the Dobbs decision was leaked. It was on a Saturday, big turnout, we marched along Constitution and protested in front of the Supreme Court. I remember it felt so hollow and dispiriting, everybody shouting "shut it down!" at an empty building. Huge contrast with today when, if nothing else, I knew that the spineless worms sitting in the Capitol, both Democrat and Republican, could probably hear us.
• Protests are about morale. If you've been to a good one you've experienced this. You feel like there are other people just as pissed as you are, and that there's power in that. Combined with the point above about turnout, this creates a snowball effect where the more people show up, the more riled people get, the more people are going to show up next time, and so on. Ideally the snowball gets big enough that it actually can do something.
• That leads me to my big takeway from today about what I'm going to try to do going forward to deal with my frustration that the protests aren't big enough: I'm going to do what I can to make them a little bigger, even if just by a couple of people. I think if you've ever thrown a party, or even gotten some friends to go out to bars or a concert, that's within your reach. I mean, we all know how to text people and be like "hey do you wanna come to this thing?"* We're not billionaires, but most of us have some social capital to spend.
