Over 1 million join anti-Trump womens marches worldwide
https://lasvegassun.com/news/2017/jan/21/hundreds-of-thousands-of-women-protest-against-tru/
WASHINGTON In a global exclamation of defiance and solidarity, more than 1 million people rallied at women's marches in the nation's capital and cities around the world Saturday to send President Donald Trump an emphatic message on his first full day in office that they won't let his agenda go unchallenged.
Many of the women came wearing pink, pointy-eared "pussyhats" to mock the new president. Plenty of men joined in, too, contributing to surprising numbers everywhere from New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and Los Angeles to Mexico City, Paris, Berlin, London, Prague and Sydney.
The outpouring served to underscore the degree to which Trump has unsettled people in both hemispheres.
"We march today for the moral core of this nation, against which our new president is waging a war," actress America Ferrera told the Washington crowd. "Our dignity, our character, our rights have all been under attack, and a platform of hate and division assumed power yesterday. But the president is not America. ... We are America, and we are here to stay."

just browsing the various news I've seen in the past hour is looking like a global count in the several millions, at least two million in the USA.
