A pink-hat-studded march in protest of last year’s inauguration of President Donald Trump drew an estimated 1,000 people in Port Townsend in 2017. This year, Women’s March organizers are hoping to double that number.

“We’re marching to never forget our resistance,” said human rights activist Emelia De Souza.

All are welcome to participate in the inclusive event, which begins at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 20.

Marchers plan to assemble beginning at 9:30 a.m. near the Flagship Landing building, at 1111 Water St., followed by a march down Water Street to a rally at Pope Marine Park.

The march could mean something different for everyone attending. For De Souza, “This is a call to remind us of our civic duties. We have to be ... we’re supposed to be and we’re obligated to be involved,” she said. “Women’s rights are human rights.

“We march, we vote, we get involved and we protest.”

Keynote speakers for the event are Sarah Van Gelder, cofounder of Yes! Magazine; Vanessa Castle of the Lower Elwha S’Klallam Tribe; and Ingrid Schultz and Hannah Marx, members of Port Townsend High School’s Students for Sustainability group. Numerous elected officials plan to attend, including Port Townsend City Council member Michelle Sandoval, Jefferson County Commissioner Kate Dean, and Washington state Reps. Mike Chapman and Steve Tharinger.

For those who want to become more involved in the event, a planning meeting is set for 6 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 17 at Quimper Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, 2333 San Juan Ave.

Parking is limited downtown due to construction, and attendees are asked to carpool, bike, walk or take the bus. A designated drop-off area for physically disabled participants is at the assembly location (east end of Quimper Mercantile parking lot), and limited parking for those who are disabled is available near Pope Marine Park.
