'We are still going to march'published at 19:41 Greenwich Mean Time 21 January 2017
Despite earlier reports saying organisers had deemed the crowd in Washington was too large to march on the White House, they said the march is continuing, but along a different route.
“We are marching and we are using Constitution Avenue,” organiser Janaye Ingram told the crowd.
“We are marching north. Get to Constitution Avenue and turn left. Go to the Washington Monument, turn to the right, you will see the Ellipse."

Two women on why they are marchingpublished at 18:26 Greenwich Mean Time 21 January 2017
Image source, Getty Images
The BBC's Courtney Subramanian reports from the Mall:
Lesley Mansfield, who travelled from New Mexico with a group of friends, said she's marching not just for women's rights, but freedom of choice.
She said she was fed up with Trump from day one of the campaign.
Mansfield said she watched conservative friends who had vowed never to vote for Trump slowly concede even as he became more entangled in scandal.
There was no choice but to show up today, she said.
"He said he wants to give power back to the people - guess what, you just did," said Pam Spencer.
Spencer flew from Atlanta to join the march.
"This march is about unqualified equality," she said.
"Immigration, access to healthcare, reproductive rights - these issues don't affect us all equally.
"But we have to show up to make ourselves heard."

Trump's limo drives through protestspublished at 18:08 Greenwich Mean Time 21 January 2017
As President Donald Trump's motorcade was returning to the White House after a morning prayer service, the fleet of vehicles had to manoeuvre through throngs of protesters.
As his armoured car passed through one intersection, cars began honking at him.
In a nod to a famous speech by Hillary Clinton, protesters held up signs declaring that women's rights are human rights.
"We stand with Planned Parenthood," other signs read in reference to a reproductive health organisation whose funding has been threatened by Republicans.
Trump is due to visit the CIA HQ in Virginia later on Saturday.
