Organizers of tomorrow’s Women March to Win in Naples, Fla., have received a permit to march down Fifth Avenue, Naples’ main street, in contrast to past marches, according to an organizer of the event.

In past years, marchers have gathered at Broad and Third streets in Naples and were only permitted to march on the sidewalk to reach Cambier Park.

This year the march will be shorter in distance, beginning and ending in Cambier Park. Participants will gather at 9:00 am in the park and step off at 10:00 am. Following the march, speakers will address the crowd in Cambier until 2:00 pm.

In Fort Myers, marchers will gather at The Alliance for the Arts, 10091 McGregor Blvd, at 10:00 am and rally until 1:00 pm.

Further details can be found at the Facebook pages of the Naples’ Women’s March and the Fort Myers Women’s March.
