Protesters continue to show up in large numbers at the Colorado State Capitol to voice their anger with President Donald Trump’s policies and his inner circle. Crowds on the Capitol’s west lawn braved the freezing weather on Presidents’ Day Monday, February 17, to join a nationwide effort to keep protesting Trump’s second presidency.
“I’m here to support my fellow Americans and to support democracy. I believe a coup is happening. It’s a constitutional crisis.

It’s the second nationwide protest against Trump’s presidency to bring a large turnout to the Colorado State Capitol since the Fifty State Protest on February 5, which saw 5,000 protesters at the Capitol. The Fifty State Protest was also organized mostly on social media and without an organization officially in the lead.
