Those who plan to attend the Women’s March in downtown Los Angeles Saturday are being encouraged to take public transportation or arrange rides, since many of the streets in and around the area will be closed.

Nearly 70,000 people have indicated on Facebook that they will attend Women’s March Los Angeles, which is one of several to be held nationwide. Dozens of celebrities are expected to attend, including Ariana Grande, Jane Fonda, Idina Menzel and Alfre Woodard.

Participants are asked to start meeting at Pershing Square at Olive and 6th streets at 9 a.m. The march begins at 10 a.m. and proceeds down Hill Street between 6th and 1st streets toward City Hall.

In addition to street closures for the march, contractors will close Broadway between 3rd and 6th streets between 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Organizers say on their Facebook page they want Women’s March Los Angeles to be a safe space for all of those who attend. There’s no alcohol, no weapons and no dogs or pets allowed unless they are services animals.

“Women’s March Los Angeles is about having our voices heard, activating our community and unifying our community,” Emiliana Guereca said in a statement. “Women’s rights are human rights.”

Police will be on hand to ensure that people are safe.

“We want people to express their first amendments rights,” said LAPD Officer Aereon Jefferson, adding that participants should stay vigilant and visible, close to crowds.
