Kosow: Join the ‘NO KING People’s March’
In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings.
On Saturday, June 14, the NO KINGS People’s March in Glenwood Springs is the next National Day of Action — one of 1,600 protests nationwide — part of the mass mobilization in response to increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption from Trump and his allies.
We’re outraged as they’ve cracked down on free speech, discouraged dissent, and detained people for their political views. They have disappeared good people from our communities, threatened to deport American citizens and cut essential programs. They defy the courts with plans that could destroy our economy, our public lands, and our environment.
Americans across the country will be marching, rallying, and demanding a stop to the chaos and the dismantling of our government.
Join Mountain Action Indivisible at Sayre Park in Glenwood Springs starting at 10:30 a.m.
We will march along the sidewalks of Grand Avenue and then celebrate our solidarity in the park. There will be music, family friendly activities, and lots of inspiration. Special address from Rep. Elizabeth Velasco and lots of colorful surprises and flags for Flag Day. It is critical to raise awareness of the cruelty and greed perpetrated by this administration, and to keep growing the opposition movement. It’s time to stop the hostile takeover.
A core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action and peaceful dissent. Sign up at http://www.mobilize.us/nokings/event/789972/ to get all the details about the event or visit mountainactionindivisble.org.

‘Aggressive infestation’ almost eats away popular Aspen park
