That means about 10,000.
People are getting a little tired of the BS.

These numbers always seem to favor the Left too. Our marches are vastly undercounted, and theirs always seem to be inflated.
There’s a good chance there were only 5,000 there.

Quite a difference from 1963 when 100,000 were expected and 250,000 showed up!................

The sad thing is that doesn’t even matter. All of media covered it as a watershed moment, and that ‘we have so much more to do’. Just like we saw less than 10 people to show up and Sandra Fluke campaign events last year, but the media was able to mention these events as a huge outcry about the threats to women by the right.
Our side better figure out how to counter this current method because we are losing ground rapidly. We went from having a clear majority on our side from 2009-2010 to completely throwing it all away. Tactics need to change to counter the left’s tactics.

I didn't watch it but saw some of the photos. I shouldn't have been, but I was surprised at all the white koolaide drinkers in attendance cheering on the racist pronouncements of Al Sharpton et al.

Only 20,000 in attendance, but they left the trash of millions.

A reported 250,000. I’ll take that number with a grain of salt.
