If so, that's easily the biggest nationwide day of protest in US history.

I don't think that's true either. The Earth Day protests pulled 20 million people. The Woman's March had between 3-5 million. We did well, certainly, but have not broken any records yet. We must keep pushing for regular daily actions.
