For those who thought it may be a dud, it wasn't. On a National & Global scale it was HUGE. And as of now 9:45pm EST it has probably doubled in size & intensity.
Video from earlier today of the march, shot from rooftop.

Whether it's a "dud" or not, depends entirely on what your expectations were. It was a day of worldwide solidarity with millions participating around the globe. And as another poster said, millions more that would have if they could.
