Trump is back, so are the marches Peoples March Seattle planned to step off from Capitol Hills Cal Anderson Park on January 18th

The People’s March Seattle is set to commence on January 18, 2025, from Cal Anderson Park, aiming to revive the spirit of activism seen in previous years, particularly during the Women’s Marches in 2017 and 2018. This feminist-led march seeks to create an inclusive space for vulnerable communities and promote collective liberation. Although organizers have tempered their expectations for turnout, they are actively working to raise $12,000 to support the rally and march. The past marches in Seattle have seen participation numbers soar, with estimates exceeding 100,000 in 2018. Organizers are currently finalizing details for the rally, which has not yet been disclosed.

In discussions with city officials, they have outlined the route from Cal Anderson to the Seattle Center, ensuring logistical support for the expected participants. The event comes amid a politically charged environment with heightened awareness of domestic issues, and organizers encourage attendees to focus their messages on local matters. As the political landscape evolves, the effectiveness and resonance of the march remain to be seen, especially with the backdrop of Donald Trump’s political resurgence.
