BREAKING: CEO of marketing group says he was offered $20 million contract to organize anti-Trump protests

The CEO of "Crowds on Demand" has said that he rejected an offer of $20 million to organize the "Good Trouble Lives On" protests taking place on July 17.

The CEO of Crowds on Demand Adam Stewart told reporters at 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."

When News Nation addressed who had offered him the money, he did not say who it was that had approached him about organizing the protest and that he had concerns about violence, thought it would be ineffective, and did not want to be involved.

Influence Watch has referred to Crowd on Demand as a "marketing firm" for protests. The group says on its website that they are the "home for impactful advocacy campaigns, demonstrations, PR stunts, crowds for hire, and corporate events."

The anti-Trump "Good Trouble Lives On" protests taking place on Thursday follow other large nation-wide protests such as the "No Kings" demonstrations that took place last month as well as others.

The protests website says that there are going to be multiple locations for the demonstrations taking place on Thursday. Partners for the “Good Trouble Lives On” organizing includes the SLPC, 50501 (one of the main activist groups behind the “No Kings” protests), the NEA, the Women’s March, and many other left-wing activist organizations.

“Toolkits” to host a protest includes documents to invite members of Congress, recruitment strategies, media kits, and other materials.
