Women's March On Washington To Include Local Groups, Including Ocean City

OCEAN CITY, NJ — The Women’s March on Washington set to take place the day after President Elect Donald Trump’s inauguration will have a local flavor.

Groups from Atlantic and Cape May County, including Ocean City, will be joining the march, the Ocean City Gazette reports.

Ocean City resident Ilona Shafer told the newspaper she’s fearful of a Donald Trump presidency because it’s unclear what he’ll do after he’s sworn in.

“He’s unpredictable, dishonest,” Shafer told the Gazette. “We’re all willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. We’re not optimistic, but we’re willing to sit and wait.”

Allison Anholt, of Stone Harbor, is organizing the Cape May County march, with one bus leaving Cape May Court House at 6 a.m. and another leaving Cape May at 5:30 a.m., according to the report.

The march begins at 10 a.m. at Independence Avenue and Third Street near the National Museum of the American Indian, according to Newsweek.

The movement started as a Facebook page calling on women to show up in Washington, D.C., the day after the inauguration and became a nationwide movement over the next two months, according to Vogue.

According to the event’s Facebook page, 183,000 people are signed up to attend.

This includes celebrities such as Katy Perry, Cher and Zendaya, according to Billboard.

Sister marches are also planned in Montana and New York City, Israel and Iraq, according to Newsweek.
