Assuming the numbers are correct, roughly 2 percent of the US population participated in the rallies.

TIL about the 3.5 percent rule.

AI Overview

When 3.5% of a population engages in peaceful protest, it is highly likely to bring about political change, a phenomenon known as the " 3.5% rule". This threshold is based on research into historical movements and suggests that a sustained, nonviolent campaign involving at least this percentage of the population becomes nearly impossible for a government to withstand. Successful examples include the People Power Revolution in the Philippines and the Rose Revolution in Georgia. However, the rule is a guideline, and success also depends on other factors like the quality of the protest and its organization.
