    I’m afraid I don’t, I’ve just been passing on information I’ve received from the organisers. I had a quick look online but couldn’t see any lists. I’d do more research for you, but I’m currently trying to get home 😅

    Most lists I saw on Wikipedia are about protests for specific causes like COVID lockdowns or the Vietnam war.

    If I’m able to get a source from the organisers for this claim I’ll pass it along to you (unless I forget which is very possible).

    Edit: you could probably go through this and work it out but that wouldn’t be much fun tbh
