March for Our Lives Crowd Size & Numbers [PHOTOS] | Heavy.com
Demonstrators participate in the March for Our Lives rally on March 24, 2018 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
March for Our Lives event is happening today, with hundreds of thousands of people participating all around the country and the world (500,000 were expected in D.C.
alone).
More the 800 sister rallies are taking place just across the United States.
Some of these ended up being unexpectedly large, such as the 30,000 who showed up in Atlanta.
Other crowds were expected, like the 20,000 who gathered in Parkland, Florida.
The main "official" petition for March for Our Lives (here) had more than 306,684 signatures at the time of publication, and growing.
But just how many people actually attended the rallies today in person? Here are the numbers that we know so far.
This isn't an exhaustive list of every state, but a sampling of information that's currently available.
If you're looking for a particular event or state, search for your state or city's name.
These are in alphabetical order by state.
Washington D.
Washington D.C. is the main event.
Although an exact count isn't yet known, officials said that 500,000 were expected to attend, Variety reported.
This one also drew the attention of celebrities, including Lin-Manuel Miranda and Common, who were performing. George Clooney, Oprah Winfrey, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Steven Spielberg, and Kate Capshaw also attended.
As you can see from the photo above, the crowd size was huge.
Because a talent show already had the mall reserved, participants couldn't meet there (which would have given us great crowd size comparison photos.) But they did meet at Pennsylvania Avenue and filled the streets.
Because 500,000 were expected, an actual march isn't happening, but rather a rally instead.
This number is on par with the 500,000 people who attended the Women's March in D.C.
in January. Alabama.
