On Saturday morning, thousands of people in Boulder came out in support of Black Lives Matter. Close to two thousand people gathered and listened to 5 speakers before marching together down Pearl Street towards the Dairy Center chanting slogans and wearing face covers.
Junie Joseph, a member of Boulder City Council, told a mostly young crowd to not believe people who tell you that change is impossible.
