Thousands expected for People’s March on Washington ahead of Trump’s inauguration

Tens of thousands of people are expected in Washington ahead of Inauguration Day in January to protest President-elect Donald Trump and policy priorities that they say will undermine the rights of women, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community and racial and religious minorities.

The demonstration, dubbed the “People’s March on Washington,” is scheduled for Jan. 18, two days before the inauguration. It is being organized by leading civil rights, racial justice and reproductive health organizations, including the Women’s March and Abortion Access Now, a coalition of organizations including the ACLU, Planned Parenthood and the National Women’s Law Center.

Organizers estimate 50,000 people will attend, according to a permit application, during a season when officials expect a surge of protests — and celebrations — from across the political spectrum as the nation’s seat of power transitions from Joe Biden to Trump. There are more than 10 permit applications filed with the National Park Service for rallies, vigils and protests between now and the end of January related to the election, democracy, abortion and the Israel-Gaza war, including another Women’s March demonstration this Saturday at Columbus Circle.

***“We are having a march in order to continue to fight for our freedom, our families, our futures, and to also make sure that it’s clear in the face of rising authoritarianism that we will not preemptively give up,” said Rachel O’Leary Carmona, the executive director of the Women’s March, adding that sister marches are planned across the country.

Already, O’Leary Carmona said, organizers are thinking toward the 2026 midterm elections and ways to usher in a blue wave....

“Folks might be sad and folks might be exhausted,” said Timmaraju, who is also the president and CEO of Reproductive Freedom for All. “But it’s not stopping them from saying, ‘What’s next? I want to fight.’”

Sounds like an insurrection! Throw them in the DC gulag and leave them there for 3-4 years before giving them a trial. And toss in any left-tard lawyers, politicians, media or bureaucrats that complain about it.

They marched the streets of Washington D.C. the first time Trump was inaugurated. Remember the “Pussy Hats?”

Trumps DOJ needs to investigate all these communist organizations for campaign violations on Day One.

Those are anti-white hate groups.

I’d love to have our own General Augusto Pinochet, but I’m very cool with another term of Donald John Trump.

Reproductive health organizations?

There are organizations devoted to reproductive health, meaning that they are helping couples have children? Meaning that they want to ensure that women have healthy pregnancies?
