24. I don't think that's what the person I was responding to was referring to.

The "march" in 2017 was massive, and a follow-up one in 2018 was pretty big, but any such protests since then have not been very big (I'm finding estimates of 10000 at most) and they weren't wide spread. The person said "These protests are not helping and becoming a problem". Becoming a problem makes it sound like there have been many significant protests they are referring to which happened recently, but I'm not aware of any. There was a women's march in DC just before the election but it attracted a small crowd and I see no evidence it created any problems.
