“I can tell you for sure, it’s larger than the Trump inauguration,” said Democratic Representative Chris Van Hollen of this weekend’s protest against gun violence in Washington D.C.
Officials connected with today’s #MarchForOurLives here in D.C. tell @NBCNews that they are estimating a crowd size of 800,000 after forecasts of 500,000.
