The CEO of Crowds on Demand, Adam Stewart, has disclosed that he turned down a substantial offer of $20 million to orchestrate the "Good Trouble Lives On" protests scheduled for July 17.
Stewart revealed to News Nation, "We rejected an offer that probably is worth around $20 million ... The value of the contract would have been worth around that amount nationwide to organize huge demonstrations around the country. But personally, I just don't think it's effective." His decision reflects a stance against the potential ineffectiveness and possible violence associated with such large-scale demonstrations.
According to The Post Millennial, Stewart refrained from identifying the party that approached him with the lucrative proposal. His concerns about the potential for violence and the overall effectiveness of the protests were pivotal in his decision to decline involvement. Influence Watch describes Crowds on Demand as a "marketing firm" specializing in protests, offering services that include advocacy campaigns, PR stunts, and crowds for hire.
The "Good Trouble Lives On" protests, which are anti-Trump in nature, are set to occur on Thursday and are part of a series of nationwide demonstrations, including the recent "No Kings" protests. The event's website outlines multiple locations for the demonstrations and lists partners such as the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), 50501, the National Education Association (NEA), and the Women's March, among other left-wing activist groups.
Organizers have prepared "toolkits" for hosting protests, which include resources for inviting members of Congress, recruitment strategies, media kits, and additional materials.
These efforts underscore the coordinated approach of left-wing groups in mobilizing against conservative figures and policies, raising questions about the broader implications of such orchestrated activism on public discourse and political dynamics.
