Columbus women head east for Women's March on Washington

Some of the Columbus community will road trip to Washington to join 200,000 people expected to participate in the Women's March on Washington.

Some of the Columbus community will travel east by car and by bus to get to Washington D.C. in time join a massive movement.

In less than 24 hours. Liza Varnum and Carol Argiro will walk with hundreds of thousands of people through Washington D.C. Saturday.

"I think it's a historical moment," Liza Varnum said.

It's a last minute trip to Washington D.C. for Varnum. She's leaving Columbus Friday night and driving there. It's worth it to her she says, to be a part of something big.

"Unity. Just knowing that people from different walks of life can come together in support of a cause peacefully and you know sharing a message," Varnum said.

More than 200,000 people are expected to head to the nation's capital on Saturday for the Women's March on Washington. The protest comes one day after President Donald Trump takes office.

"I decided after the election that it wasn't enough to not be happy with the results of the election. It was now my job to stand up," Carol Argiro said.

Argiro will be at the march with a homemade sign to raise walking with her family and marching for a cause.

"I'm passionate about the world we live in. Being good and safe for everybody," Argiro said.

Argiro hopes it will be a peaceful protest to stand in solidarity for the protection of women's rights and more.

Hundreds of cities are expected to participate in similar marches. Columbus held its "Sister March" last weekend.
