On May 1, Denver protesters came to the Colorado State Capitol for “A Day Without Immigrants,” a rally opposing President Donald Trump’s aggressive actions against immigrants. Aurora Unidos Community Service Organization, a group that advocates against deportation and Trump’s immigration policies, organized the action, which featured indigenous Mexican dancers on the west steps of the Capitol performing under gray, drizzly skies. The sounds of drumming mixed with honks of support from motorists passing on Lincoln Street, and the smell of burning sage mingled with that of the hot dogs being handed out by volunteers. Aurora Unidos CSO had taken out a permit for 5,000 people, but the Colorado State Patrol estimated the crowd at fewer than 1,000. Some demonstrators had come earlier for a 3 p.m. protest organized by a local service employees union that marked May Day, International Workers Day. ✍️ Read the full story by Bennito L.
