The former White House communications director has revealed she will attend the Women's March on Washington as she said it felt 'dishonest' welcoming the new President.

Jen Psaki - who worked for Barack Obama for ten years - said she plans to join friends, family and tens of thousands of others 'who share my concerns about the future' at tomorrow's march.

Despite her support of the event, the mother-of-one, 38, said she fears that after the march people will 'move on with their daily lives', she wrote on Refinery29.

Alert: But the mother-of-one, pictured with former President Barack Obama in 2015, warned against 'complacency' afterwards

Jen said: 'Like many people I was looking for a place to be, and one that would help remind me that there are a lot of other people who share my concerns about the future.'

Although Jen said taking part in the march is preferable to 'wallowing on your couch,' she said people's actions afterwards will be critical.

'The danger we face is allowing the march to make us feel better, to lull us into complacency,' she said.

Jen said the election result required White House staff 'to live in two worlds'.

While she said they were 'gracious hosts' to the new President, they also spent time thinking about the election and the impact it would have on Obama's legacy.

She added: 'The draw to public service that had led most of us to start working for a skinny guy with a funny name ten years ago. It felt dishonest.'

Although she is worried about the future on how the new administration will tackle issues such as healthcare, drinking water and paid leave, Jen said there are 'some signs of light.'

Citing former co-workers who plan to remain in public service and friends and family who are not involved in politics but plan to march tomorrow, she said the new administration is inspiring people to act.

She added: 'How can I make a difference as an individual? It feels overwhelming. The march this weekend feels like a short term answer to that.'

More than one million people are expected to take part in the global Women's March tomorrow across 58 different countries.
