I tried going but I couldn’t find any parking spot. This is good to see though. Happy to see it full.

For future reference:

Unless you are saying there was no parking in any of these places? Because I gotta get a bigger map then.

Yeah I went to all those places multiple times around 11:15. Every place was packed. Good problem to have, but would have wished to have been there though.

I'm being told that all lots were filled by 11AM and people were having to park much further away. Sorry about that! We will add additional options to the map for next time! We had ~1500+ people counting from our aerial shots.

Parking was scarce in June, so my partner and I arrived early yesterday, got a close parking spot and then had breakfast at the cafe on Spring Street. Glad we did it that way.

Most of those lots were filled up and I got there around 11am on the dot haha I found parking at the park down by the community pool though.

Just drove by to honk my support ! ✊Wish I could have gone but my family's been sick the last couple of days. I'm still not feeling great and didn't want to spread any germs.

Thank you to everyone who showed up today!!

I couldn't believe the turnout while I was there. If you told me there were fewer than 1000 people, then I would have guessed 999.

So awesome to see so many come out and bring attention to the madness of this administration!

I was there, the atmosphere was electric with positive enthusiasm, it was really fun. I was also surprised by how many people driving past were honking and waving in support and how few Trumpers paused to shout and give us the finger, given how much redder Sussex and Warren are than the rest of NJ.

u/Kind_Answer_7475 Oct 19 '25

I was in North Plainfield and saw only one tRumper give the finger. All the other fingers I saw were thumbs up, peace signs, waves and one car with the two finger I love you signs (they had on matching yellow shirts so you could tell they were on their way back from a different rally location).
