Crowds Gather Across Colorado for 'No Kings' Protests
More than 50 rallies were expected across the state on Saturday, with thousands of protesters gathering in opposition to the Trump administration's policies.
Protesters gathered along street corners and in parks, holding "No Kings" signs and chanting, from Grand Junction to the eastern plains.
A rally in downtown Glenwood Springs drew people from the region, where a large crowd listened to music and rallied before walking down Main Street.
- Darlene Bernard, a retired census bureau employee, drove two hours from her home in Craig to attend the rally.
- She stated that her job and living in a conservative town made it difficult for her to express her views.
"I used to have to be politically correct all the time, and so I just didn't say anything," she said. "But now I do, but I wait till I'm within a safe place."
Under President Donald Trump's administration, Bernard expressed her unhappiness with the loss of rights.
