DCistAccording to the National Park Service, Cindy Chafian Women for America has requested a permit for 50 people at Freedom Plaza on Saturday. Based on her LinkedIn, Cindy Chafian appears to be the coalition director for Women for America First. This permit has not yet been approved by NPS.
Bethel Campus Fellowship, a Maryland-based Christian group for young people, has also requested a permit for Saturday. The application expects 500 people near the Ellipse for a Proclaim Freedom Crusade to encounter Jesus and experience FREEDOM like never before. Its unclear if this event is linked to the MAGA demonstrations. (A pro-life group has also submitted a request for a 250-person prayer event on Sunday in Lafayette Park. )
According to the various social media pages set up for Saturdays rally, the activity is set to start in Freedom Plaza at 12 p.m., and continue with a march to the Supreme Court around 2 p.m.
In any case, the chances of a pro-Trump march drawing 1 million people to downtown D.C. appears unlikely, to say the least. The maximum capacity of Freedom Plaza is 13,900 per the National Park Service estimates, as Washingtonian pointed out.

If less than a million people show up for the Million MAGA March it will because hundreds of thousands of marchers were flipped to Biden and began dancing in the streets instead!
