SEATTLE — Spurred by months of frustration over stories of sexual assault, a huge crowd is expected to march in Seattle this Saturday (January 20) in the second annual Women’s March, which they’re calling March 2.0.<\/p>\n

This year, the march will happen exactly\u00a0a year\u00a0after President Donald Trump took office.<\/p>\n

Organizers hope it will encourage widespread activism beyond the streets by those who advocate for civil rights, women’s and LGBTQ rights, as well as other causes.<\/p>\n

On Sunday,\u00a0 volunteers created posters for the march at The Riveter — a shared, workspace in Seattle that focuses on supporting women.<\/p>\n

“We love that people are having conversations about what inspires them. And they’re thinking about what they want to do in the coming year,” organizer Jonna Bell told Q13 News.<\/p>\n

“Everybody that I know that marched last year, kind of did something different this year, whether they wrote letters, or whether they did phone banking or they volunteered. I mean, it sort of inspired people to take real action,” Janine Brunyee with Be the Change Network said.<\/p>\n

One of the speakers this year will be state senator Manka Dhingra.<\/p>\n

Last\u00a0November, she helped flip the state Senate to Democratic control by winning her district<\/a> in Kirkland.<\/p>\n

“This is about actually making sure that people have a voice. This is about defining a new normal. About making sure we are talking about respect, dignity and equality,” Dhingra said Sunday.<\/p>\n

The march will begin with a rally at Cal Anderson Park beginning at 10 a.m. on Saturday. The march to the Seattle Center will begin at 11:30 a.m. and there are events scheduled for Sunday, as well.<\/p>\n

Participants are encouraged to use public transportation.<\/p>\n
