Protests and rallies took place across Colorado yesterday as part of a national day of action marking one year since Donald Trump took office for the second time.

The “Free America Walkout” was organized by the national Women’s March, with support from local branches of advocacy groups like Indivisible.

Actions took place in Boulder, Denver, Louisville and several other Front Range cities.
