On Jan. 21, 2017, more than 100,000 women took over Civic Center Park and downtown Denver. Now, a year later, organizers are planning to do the same thing.

Organizers of the 2018 Women’s March, which is scheduled for Jan. 20, said 200,000 people could attend according to the permit request filed with Denver Parks and Recreation. That’s far more than the 5,000 organizers initially expected last year.

As of Thursday, Jan. 18, more than 12,000 people have said they will be going on Facebook while nearly 32,000 have said they are interested.

As of Tuesday, Jan. 9, 14 women’s marches in Colorado were registered online, including ones in Denver, Aspen and Colorado Springs. Across the nation, 673 marches are registered.

RTD will add extra train cars to the E-, H- and D-lines that Saturday. Cars will be added to the B-Line if there are crowds in Westminster. Extra buses will be on standby.
