More than five million Americans in over 2,100 towns and cities joined us today to say we don't do kings in this country. Thank you for making it clear that we won't be ruled by fear.

Here’s what Alt National Park is reporting. How could the numbers be so different?

I don’t tend to think AltNPS is very reputable.

Maybe not but 5 mil seems very low based on the reporting coming out. That would be an average of 2400 per protests. We had about 1k turn out in my teeny tiny rural purple town alone.

I also think 5 million sounds low, but 11 million sounds too high. Just curious about the wide discrepancy.

Doesn’t sound too high to me. We’d need an average turnout of 220,000 per state and we know some cities had over 100,000 at one event. I live in Maine and we had 51 events planned. My tiny rural town had at least 1k out. 11 mil isn’t crazy.

My understanding is that they’re quite reputable.

AFAIK, they are National Parks Officials that have been closely monitoring the attendance. I don't think Indivisibles numbers are accurate. They may be based on who RSVPed, or where their specific protests were held.
