It would be interesting if we could get an

estimate of participants from every march today. We need to dispel the MSM narrative of thousands taking part. It was MILLIONS!!!!!!

For example, Tacoma Washington expected 1,000 but the police said we had 7,000-10,000

We had much less at the Woman's March in Jan 2017.

It's about halfway between the cities of Miami and Ft Lauderdale so only a few hundred were expected but over a thousand showed up! And Senator Bob Graham showed up too!

Went to Weston March, where my daughter sang the national anthem 500-1,000.

Then drove up to Parkland for the big march, close to 20,000 they said.

but I have been to 14 rallies/protests in the past 18 months and I think 10,000+ is more like it.

Personally I didn't see that many people because I was near the end of the line. To me and my sisters it looked like between 5 and 10 thousand. However the Pittsburgh media is saying we had 30,000 marching today.

It was a good mix of students (kids) and adults, as well as older adults. Many Baby Boomers marched with us today.

I think some people might have skipped the march and just came directly to Market Square.
Not sure about that. It was a great thing we did today.

We're very glad we went, and one of my sisters is in a wheelchair but we had no problems.
I'm going to watch the 11 o'clock news, there will probably be an update.
