More than 5 million people took part.

The second No Kings, four months later, was October.

More than 7 million people showed up.

This weekend was the third No Kings.

Organizers say the count was more than 8 million people.

Now, the organizers of No Kings have already announced what they're planning to do next.

After those three gargantuan events in 10 months, the next one's going to be something very different.

and it is set for May 1st, instead of another day of record-breaking protests and marches.

This time, No King's organizers and hundreds of unions and other groups nationwide are planning what they're calling a nationwide general strike on May 1st.

A general strike, as in no work, no school, no shopping.

Friday, May 1st.

Joining us now is Ezra Levin, a co-founder of Indivisible, one of the No Kings organizers.

Ezra, I know you have not slept enough, and so you are forgiven for rambling or not making sense at this point.

But I know it was a ton of work.

How do you think things went on Saturday?

In terms of what comes next, you guys are getting very specific about it.

I understand that you guys have a mass call, a nationwide call scheduled for tomorrow talking about what's next after this weekend's No Kings Day protests, before what's going to happen on May 1st.

What's the point of that call?

What are you asking people to do between now and the May 1st general strike?

May 1st, general strike, mass call tomorrow, talking about what's next and planning for that.
