The Women’s March on Washington, a grassroots women-led movement that rallied protesters of all genders and backgrounds on Saturday, attracted three times more people to the city than the inauguration of President Donald Trump.
Crowd scientists Marcel Altenburg and Keith Still of Manchester Metropolitan University in Britain estimated 160,000 people were in the National Mall and vicinity in the hour leading up to Trump’s speech on Friday.
Altenburg and Still also estimated that at about 2 p.m. Saturday, at least 470,000 people were at the women’s march in Washington in the areas on and near the mall.
