Thousands of people are marching in downtown for the Women’s March on Sacramento. As many as 20,000 people attended Saturday's march, the Sacramento police said. The Women's march started at 10 a.m. Here is the march route: Start at Southside Park, corner of 6th Street and T StreetHead straight down 6th Street, away from parkTurn left onto R StreetTurn right onto 5th StreetTurn right onto Capitol MallEnd at State Capitol Organizers told KCRA that they’re expecting 19,000 people to march and rally at the Capitol. "I feel so excited that people want their voices to be heard and that together we will rise and we're not going to divide and fall," said Annie Adams, co-organizer of the Women's March on Sacramento. Adams and others began their march plans seven weeks ago. At that point, they believed no more than 5,000 people would attend. While the march is not intended as a protest against Pres. Donald Trump, Adams and others say the huge turnout is in response to Trump's inauguration. "Today in an ironic way may be the start of something very special. People recognizing and reclaiming what's already great about America," said Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg, who spoke against Pres. Trump. "The message of support and solidarity with women, with Muslim Americans, with immigrants, with everyone who feels threatened, we're standing with you always." The rally at the state Capitol started at noon. More than 370 cities across the country are holding marches and rallies. Stay with KCRA for updates throughout the day.
