From the article: "At least one reporter counted the attendees of the protest to number over 1,000 people."
Also from the article: "Protesters chanted slogans such as “No LGB without the T!,” “When they’re done with us, they’re coming for you—wake up, wake up, this is your fight too!” and “Trans lives matter!” according to HuffPost journalist Matt Shuham. In a symbolic act of defiance, the National Park Service sign for Stonewall National Monument was altered with sidewalk chalk to read “Stonewall National Transgender Monument.” Another sign proclaimed, “The bricks didn’t throw themselves,” featuring images of Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, two transgender activists who played a pivotal role in the Stonewall uprisings and the subsequent fight for LGBTQ+ rights."
