Thousands of people are descending on Washington D.C. for the inauguration of Donald Trump.
- Women's March St. Pete - Saturday
- Donald Trump's inauguration Friday
- Protests taking place in Washington
- Women's marches in D.C. and nationwide, including in St. Petersburg
Thousands more will show up to protest, including many from the Bay area going to be a part of the Women's March on Washington.
A group from Lakeland is leaving on Thursday as part of a convoy of 50 buses from Florida heading north for the march.
But not everyone is heading north to make their statement.
A women's march being held Saturday in St. Petersburg is one of more than 600 planned worldwide.
Women participating in the St. Pete march have spent the past week making signs and preparing for the demonstration.
"Half of us (the general public) didn't even turn out to vote, and I think that most people were really, really surprised by the results," said women's march organizer Amy Weintraub. "And people are waking up."
Saturday's march in St. Pete kicks off at noon at Demens Landing. It will end at the same location at 3 p.m.
