Tens of thousands of
people say they are participating in a "Women's March on Washington"
the day after President-elect Donald Trump is inaugurated.
The event, which is
publicized on Facebook and scheduled for January 21, has
garnered national attention and is titled the "Women's March on
Washington." Previously, it was called the "Million Women March on
D.C."
As of Saturday, the
page had more than 44,000 individuals who said they were going, with more than
121,000 people saying they were interested.
Fontaine Pearson, one
of the march's organizers, said in a phone call that the march is not a protest
against Trump or the legitimacy of the election, but said it is to shed light
on women's issues, including sexual assault and workplace discrimination.
