Fact check: How may people attended the No Kings protest in Ridgway PA on June 14, 2025
1. Summary of the results
While there are multiple sources confirming that a "No Kings" protest was scheduled to take place in Ridgway, PA at 250 Main St on June 14th, 2025 [1], none of the available sources provide specific attendance numbers for this event. The protest appears to have been part of a larger nationwide demonstration movement [2] [3].
2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints
The original question focuses narrowly on one location, but important context shows this was part of a much broader movement:
- The protests occurred across hundreds of cities and towns throughout the United States [3]
- In Pennsylvania alone, demonstrations took place in multiple locations including Media, Springfield, Philadelphia, Ardmore, Norristown, King of Prussia, and West Chester [4]
- The movement was significant enough to generate broad national protest statistics [2]
3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement
The question itself contains an assumption that may be problematic:
- While event listings confirm a planned protest [1], none of the sources definitively confirm whether the protest actually took place as scheduled
- Focusing on a single location's attendance numbers could potentially minimize the broader significance of what appears to be a major nationwide movement [3]
- Local attendance numbers, even if available, might not be the most meaningful metric for measuring the protest's impact, given its national scope and multiple concurrent locations [2] [4]
