Thousands of people are expected to march through downtown Denver this weekend as a second wave of “No Kings” protests sweeps across the country.
The Denver protest, one of dozens scheduled in Colorado, will start at noon Saturday with music and speakers in front of the Colorado State Capitol, according to event organizers. Then, at about 12:45 p.m., attendees will take to the streets.
Organizers estimated 20,000 people attended the first “No Kings” protest in Denver last June, and anticipate at least 12,000 to join on Saturday.

“President Trump’s escalating abuses of power have crossed every line of democracy,” event organizers wrote in a statement. “…We will take to the streets and show them: Americans across the country will not cower in response to President Trump’s authoritarian takeover.”
More than 50 protests are planned across the state Saturday, including in Aurora, Littleton, Parker, Arvada, Highlands Ranch, Thornton, Boulder, Westminster, Broomfield and Commerce City.
The time, length and schedule vary by protest location. Details about each event are available online at nokings.org.
