Thousands flocked to downtown Denver on Saturday for the "No Kings" protest, timed to counter-program President Trump's multimillion-dollar military parade in Washington, D.C. The big picture: The volume of people who participated resembled that of a Denver sport team's title celebration more than a political rally.

More than a dozen rallies were planned across the state Saturday to speak out against a host of issues from immigration enforcement actions to attacks on free speech and LGBTQ rights.

Denver is set to join a nationwide movement against President Donald Trump by protesting outside the Colorado State Capitol on Saturday, beginning with a “The Power to the People Activist Fair” at Lincoln Veterans Park before thousands expect to march downtown.
