As the country prepares for the second inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump, thousands are preparing to gather in protest and make their voices heard. On Saturday, January 18, 2025, just two days before Trump is set to be sworn in, a (likely) massive march will take to the streets of Washington, D.C. (the site is permitted for 50,000), and in other major cities.The demonstration is being called The Peoples March, and its organizers are the same who led the 2017 Womens Marchthe worldwide protest that took place on January 21, 2017, the day after Trump was sworn in for the first time. As thousands prepared for the iconic Womens March by knitting pink pussy hats to cover their heads on the day of the demonstrationa response to Trumps infamous conversation with Billy Bushthe march became a massive sea of pink. The Womens March was seen as a triumphant call for women and womens allies, to push back against what many predicted, and rightly so, would be a misogynistic presidency.This time, however, the march belongs, not just to women, but to the people, perhaps in a call for everyone to stand up to the incoming president and his potential policies of intolerance. Even in times of sorrow or hopelessness, political conditions are dynamic, the Peoples March website reads. As we move forward, there are reasons to believe a new social movement can rise to confront Trumpism, drawing on past successes and effective strategies against autocrats. Who is organizing the march?Organizers of the march include leaders from Abortion Action Now, Time to Act, Womens March, Popular Democracy In Action, Harriets Wildest Dreams, The Feminist Front, NOW, Planned Parenthood, National Womens Law Center Action Fund, Sierra Club, and many others. And there is no shortage of issues that organizers say the Peoples March seeks to address. Talking about immigration, talking about peace, talking about abortion access, talking about racial justice and reproductive justice, said Tamika Middleton, the managing director for Womens March, told local news station NBC Washington. And so we are trying to create opportunities for people to be together, and thats really our message, is for people to find ways for them to engage with each other.Where will marchers meet?According to the Peoples March information page, there are three kick-off locations where D.C. marchers can plan to meet. The site explains that attendees can choose their kick-off location by looking at the issues that most resonate with them, as each location focuses on a different set of issues. While many of us hold intersecting identities and have varied issue-based interests, we encourage marchers to find a kickoff spot that most aligns with the body of activist work that you are able to engage in for the future, it reads. Some of the issues represented by each location include the climate, immigration, LGBTQIA+ rights, the Palestinian Youth Movement, and more.Each of the groups will meet at 10 a.m. and march to the Lincoln Memorial, where a rally will take place from about 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. What if Im not in D.C.?Across the country, there are at least 100 Peoples March demonstrations scheduled to take place in cities including New York, PortlandOregon and MaineAtlanta, Chicago, Columbus, San Francisco, and West Palm Beach, Florida.
