(SOUTHERN COLORADO) — The “No Kings” Rally and March drew protesters in several locations across Southern Colorado, including downtown Colorado Springs, Manitou Springs, and Pueblo, as well as smaller communities, such as Lamar, Trinidad, and Alamosa, on Saturday, June 14.

The event was planned to be the largest single-day protest across the U.S. and internationally against the actions taken by the Trump administration, according to the website.

Hundreds of people are lining the streets in Downtown Colorado Springs as of 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, waving flags, shouting “no kings,” and holding up signs portraying sentiments such as “What happened to liberty & justice for all,” “We dumped tea for less,” and “Democracy dies in silence,” as cars drive by honking.

According to the website, the event protests actions that it describes as having “disappeared people off the streets, attacked our civil rights, and slashed our services,” ending with the phrase “No thrones. No crowns. No kings.”

Despite being described as a “day of defiance,” the website states, “a core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events.”

The Colorado Springs Police Department says it is aware of the event and prepared to respond to potential threats that may arise.
