Buses Heading to Women’s March to Leave From Huntington, Cold Spring Harbor

Nearly 200,000 people from all across the country, including Long Island, are expected to attend the Women's March on Washington on Jan. 21, which is set to take place the day after the inauguration of Donald Trump.

A whopping 1,200 Women's March on Washington buses reportedly have permits to park at RFK Stadium, compared to just 200 for the inauguration itself.

If you’re from Long Island traveling to Washington, D.C., for the march, there will be buses leaving from Huntington, Huntington Station and other areas early Saturday morning.

Buses are set to leave from Cold Spring Harbor/Huntington at 5 a.m. and from Huntington at 4:15 a.m. Click here to contact the bus to reserve your spot.

Other bus stops on Long Island will be in:

• Eastport at 4:30 a.m.
• Hampton Bays (time is TBA)
• Medford (time is TBA)
• A Nassau County location at 1:30 a.m.
• Southampton (time is TBA)

Can't make it to the Capitol? A sister march will be held in Port Jefferson Station on Saturday, Jan. 21 at 12 p.m. The march will start on the corner of Route 112 and Route 347 (Nesconset Highway). For more information, go here.

While organizers have stressed that the demonstration isn't a protest of Trump, the movement has a message that seems to directly reference the inflammatory comments the president-elect has made about women throughout his campaign.

The Washington Post quotes D.C. Council member Charles Allen (Ward 6) as saying that organizers have applied for permits to park 1,200 buses at RFK stadium, close to its capacity at 1,300. Just 200 permits have been sought for the day before.

That won't necessarily be all the buses that come into town carrying demonstrators, as drivers can still find parking outside the stadium.

Organizers say the march is inclusive, and everyone who supports women's rights is welcome.

"We support the advocacy and resistance movements that reflect our multiple and intersecting identities," they add. "We call on all defenders of human rights to join us. This march is the first step towards unifying our communities, grounded in new relationships, to create change from the grassroots level up. We will not rest until women have parity and equity at all levels of leadership in society. We work peacefully while recognizing there is no true peace without justice and equity for all. HEAR OUR VOICE."
