The Women’s March, now entering its fourth iteration, is taking a conference-like approach to this year’s march. A week of themed events and discussions will precede the annual event.

“This year, we aren’t just marching,” the website says. “We’re putting our bodies on the line hand in hand with other mass movements.”

The series of events kicks off on Sunday, Jan. 12, with a poster-making session, followed by panel discussions on immigration, climate change, and reproductive rights at the progressive-minded Eaton Hotel and The Outrage. Young protesters are also invited to network with veteran activists at the Youth Rising event on the eve of the march.

For the march itself, protesters will meet at Freedom Plaza at 10 a.m. on Jan. 18. The procession will started at 11:30 a.m., going west on Pennsylvania Ave. and Constitution Ave. NW and then circling the White House, before finishing back where it started.

The week will end with a ticketed drag brunch where guests can meet the Women’s March organizers and hear from Chilean art collective Lastesis, known for their feminist anthem “Un violador en tu camino” (“A Rapist in Your Path”).

The addition of a week of events isn’t the only change to the Women’s March. Facing accusations of anti-Semitism and a widely-covered lack of unity, the three of the four founding organizers stepped down in September. Amidst the fracas, D.C.’s annual march saw a smaller turnout than the inaugural protest in 2017, which drew enormous crowds in the wake of President Trump’s inauguration.

Still, the March on Washington sees tens of thousands of demonstrators each year, who are joined by protesters in hundreds of cities across the U.S. and around the world.

This will be the first Women’s March with the new board of directors, now 16 new board members strong. The organizers point to a more unified goal this year, as detailed on their site: “In 2020, we have a chance to finish what we started three years ago and remove Trump from office.”

Unlike in previous years, the march is eschewing a major stage with passionate speeches and celebrity cameos, the Washington Post reports.

And the National Museum of Women in the Arts will offer free admission from Jan. 18-20, as it has done during previous Women’s March weekends.

Also, if you’re taking Metro, prepare for four Red Line stations to be closed amid track work. As for the forecast, a wintry mix is on the way for the areas northwest of D.C. on Saturday.
