As of February 23, 2017, the Facebook page for the Washington, D.C., event, which was held at the National Mall,[2] showed 166 people planning to attend, with an additional 349 expressing interest and another 1,800 who had been invited.[6] Also according to DC organizer Peter Boykin there were over 300 signed up with tickets from Eventbrite, and Another 500 signed up for tickets with TicketBud.com. On the day, an estimated 800-1500 Trump supporters marched from the Washington Monument to Lafayette Square near the White House.[7] Note that resistance group AntiFa moved in to disrupt the events but their numbers were less than 10 and only caused one minor disturbance. The DC & Park Police did a wonderful job keeping Peace, during the Rally, the March, and the meet up with sister group Spirit of America at Layette Park.

The march in Lake Oswego, Oregon, which took place at George Rogers Park,[6] was also meant to protest against Governor Kate Brown's decision to continue offering sanctuary throughout Oregon, according to the event's primary organizer.[2] By February 23, 51 people were confirmed to attend the Lake Oswego march.[8] A counter-protest was reportedly being organized by Oregon Students Empowered.[1] On the day, approximately 200 Trump supporters assembled, and were met on the march by up to 700 anti-Trump demonstrators; ensuing disturbances led to three arrests.[9]

300 Trump supporters attended an event in Saint Paul, Minnesota. According to a Minnesota State Patrol officer, 50 counter counterprotesters started fighting, resulting in six arrests and charges of rioting and disorderly conduct. There were also fights in Berkeley, California, where smoke bombs were set off, with 7 people injured and 10 arrested[10], and four people were arrested for assaulting police in Olympia, Washington.[11] Events were also held outside the Colorado State Capitol in Denver and the Trump Tower in Midtown Manhattan, New York City,[12] as well as in Columbus, Ohio, Florida (including Miami, Orlando, and Palm Beach), Indiana, Maine, Middletown, New Jersey, Missouri, Nashville, Tennessee, and Pennsylvania.[13] Approximately 200 Trump supporters gathered in New York City.[14]

A march was planned in Springfield, Illinois, by two women who discovered that no marches had been organized yet in the state.[15] The Springfield rally attracted around 200 pro-Trump demonstrators.[16]
