Protesters are rallying and marching in D.C. Saturday ahead of President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration.
Demonstrators are marching to the Lincoln Memorial before a rally and fair this afternoon.
Organizers prepared for up to 50,000 participants, according to a permit filed with the National Park Service.
Afternoon temps are in the low 40s, and we’ll see periods of very light rain. Here’s the Storm Team4 forecast.
Today is the first of several busy days on downtown streets. D.C.’s Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. holiday Peace Walk & Parade is also taking place in Southeast.
Several Metro stations and several streets will be closed Sunday and Monday for the inauguration.

Eight years after the Women’s March drew thousands of protesters to D.C. ahead of President Donald Trump’s first inauguration, the same planners are bringing crowds together again today for the People’s March.

Several grassroots groups descended on the District for a march and rally amid cold weather that’s only expected to get colder.

Organizers say the march and rally are part of a long-term resistance strategy to proposed policies of the incoming Trump Administration.
