All of you make a good point. I was probably mindlessly parroting what I read in some mainstream news sources. At the same time, I was thinking about how some number of us regularly spend Saturday mornings at a Tesla rally, stand out or other similar activity. Millions took part, but I didn't want to presume that I knew how many had deviated from their regular routine. I'm sure you're right. Millions is a much better estimate!
Great article but let’s open with “millions of people” took part. Mainstream media dies a fine job at diminishing the powerful voice of dissent
Why does headline say thousands took part and then following captions say millions! Millions took part across the nation
Thanks for pointing this out. It has been corrected.
This is a thoughtful write-up about crowd sizes.

See above. You're undoubtedly right.
Thanks for posting pictures. The turnout everywhere was beyond expectations…. Hopefully there will be more protests with ever growing crowds!
The show of people united gives us hope!
