PHOENIX - Twenty thousand are expected to hit the streets around the Arizona Capitol Sunday for a Women's March in Phoenix.
That's about the same number that were estimated to have come out in 2017, but this year, organizers say the focus is broader.
"Last year we had a protest first and foremost against something that had already transpired. There were so many people who felt empowered and wanted to stand up and say they were opposed to the upcoming administration, and it was a powerful statement and it mattered," said Eva Burch, one of the event's organizers.
"But this year, looking forward, we're looking at the midterm elections, and this year thinking about what we can do to move forward and make a substantial difference," said Burch.
Burch hopes the march turns into a movement that makes a difference in the polls.
A big part of Sunday's march will be getting people to register to vote and also to sign up to volunteer in campaigns.
"We really want to get the word out about who the candidates are, about what districts people are in and who they can vote for, why they should vote and trying to make sure all the communities who have been hurt by the administration over the last year have a platform, have a voice," said Burch.
Sunday's event starts at 10 a.m. with speakers and an introduction.
The actual march will start around 11 a.m. and will cover about a two miles stretch.
It will start and end at the capitol, followed by a rally that is expected to last into the late afternoon.
