To make it easier to find up-to-date information on pro-Palestine and pro-Israel protest activity in the United States since October 7, 2023, we recently created a pair of interactive data dashboards separately covering the two. You can access the dashboards by clicking on these links.
Pro-Palestine Protests in the U.S. Since October 7, 2023
Pro-Israel Protests in the U.S. Since October 7, 2023
Both dashboards show an interactive map on the landing page.
To see summary statistics about the relevant set of events, click on the “Summary Plots” button in the menu on the left. It shows a count of events, the sum of the observed crowd sizes, and a count of the different cities and towns in which the events have occurred.
If you explore the data and think we’ve either missed an event or misrepresented one, please use our anonymous online form to submit relevant public information, and we’ll review and amend as required.
We expect to update the underlying data on a daily or near-daily basis for the forseeable future, and the upper limit of the data range available in the controls will always let you know when it was last refreshed.
