The march, which is set to take place on Jan. 21, serves as a "reminder that the work to protect human rights is far from over,” said Heidi Solomon-Orlick, co-organizer of the Women's March Pennsylvania chapter.
The event aims to "send a bold message to our new administration on their first day in office, and to the world that women's rights are human rights. We stand together, recognizing that defending the most marginalized among us is defending all of us," according to the Women's March website.

The Pennsylvania chapter is working to assist thousands of marchers with logistics, such as bus transportation and lodging. Many Pennsylvanians will be making the trip via charter bus, while others are planning to stay at hotels or with friends or family in the D.C. area, Solomon-Orlick said.

There are three women spearheading efforts in Pennsylvania: Solomon-Orlick, of Reading; Tam Williams, of West Chester; and Alexandra Hackett Ferber, of Norristown.
"We want Pennsylvanians to feel energized and unified at the Women’s March on Washington," Solomon-Orlick said. Sister marches are being planned in Philadelphia and Altoona on the same date for those who are unable to make the trip to D.C., she said.
