Tens of thousands of people across Colorado turned out to demonstrate against the Trump administration, at coordinated ‘No Kings’ rallies all across the state.

The events drew an estimated seven million people nationwide. Participants denounced the administration’s use of the military in American cities, its targeting of immigrants, and its attacks on health care and the electoral system.

KGNU’s news department had the opportunity to talk to demonstrators, organizers, and community members who spoke about how they’re responding to this political moment.
