MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Tens of thousands of activists for women, immigrant and minority rights are expected to stage a "People's March on Washington" two days before the January 20 inauguration of US President-elect Donald Trump, the Washington Post reported on Friday, citing organizers.
The demonstration will take place on January 18 and is being arranged by leading organizations fighting for civil rights, women's rights and racial justice. People will protest against Trump and his policies, that they claim undermine the rights of immigrants and minorities, among others, the report said.
Organizers reportedly estimate 50,000 people will attend the demonstration. In total, activists have filed more than 10 applications for rallies and protests on the issues of election, democracy, abortion and the Palestine-Israel conflict between now and the end of January.

A presidential election was held in the United States on November 5. Republican candidate Donald Trump, who served as the US president from 2017-2021, was declared the winner by all leading race callers and networks, namely the Associated Press, Decision Desk HQ, Fox News, and CNN, NBC, ABC and CBS from the National Election Pool consortium, as he secured enough votes in the Electoral College to win the election. Democratic candidate Kamala Harris conceded defeat in an address to her supporters, and US President Joe Biden congratulated Trump.
The Electoral College, the group of presidential electors from the states, will vote for the candidate whom each state’s voters have chosen on December 17, and the results will be approved by Congress on January 6. The presidential inauguration will take place on January 20.

Trump became the first US president since the 19th century to be elected to non-consecutive terms.
