On January 21, the day after Donald Trump's inauguration, an estimated 200,000 demonstrators will march in Washington DC to protest the new administration and push for gender equality.

Organizers have announced a long list of speakers and musical performers for the rally, which will start at 10 am and is expected to last three hours. The march will begin at the intersection of 3rd Street and Independence Avenue Southwest, near the National Museum of the American Indian.

The vibe of the march will stand in stark contrast to that of today's inaugural ceremonies, which inauguration planner Tom Barrack said will have a "soft sensuality." The planners reportedly had a tough time lining up musical acts, since many turned down offers to play, but Toby Keith and 3 Doors Down are scheduled to perform.

Here's the official list of speakers for the Women's March:
