i have read reports that as many as 400,000 here in NYC. since the police were so hostile, many of the protestors could not assemble in the "pen" the cops set up.
it stretched from 49th all the way to 72nd.from the NY Times: "Crowd estimates are often little more than politically tinged guesses, and the police did not provide one. Organizers said that more than 400,000 people attended and, given the sea of faces extending for more than a mile up First Avenue and the ancillary crowds that were prevented from joining them, the claim did not appear to be wildly improbable."
