Daughter & I went, not sure about the numbers of people who turned out. All were informed & commited to this. faux news did a bit & stated about 500 showed up to march, with a bit of little film footage. Channel 9 was there but I haven't seen any film yet. A friend of mine on f/b said he thought it was more like a thousand. The police were there to direct traffic & it was a well thought out & planned event. Peaceful.
