Thousands of people marched peacefully through the streets of downtown Denver and more gathered at rallies across the state Saturday afternoon as part of the national “No Kings” protest, which organizers say brought millions of Americans out to demonstrate against President Donald Trump's policies.
People in more than 50 Colorado cities and towns organized demonstrations to coincide with Saturday’s military parade in Washington, D.C., a celebration of the Army’s 250th anniversary, which fell on Trump’s 79th birthday.
“I think these protests are a sign of how concerned people are about the creeping authoritarianism in our country,” said Lloyd Guthrie, who attended a morning “No Kings” demonstration in Parker. “I’m 72 and I’ve never seen anything like this.”
