Between January 20, 2017 and January 31, 2021, Americans advocated with historic breadth for racial justice, compassionate immigration, gun control, healthcare access, education funding, and the environment. We kept a record of American dissent over this time period by reading local news reports every night and counted at least protests across cities for a kinder world.
