More than 50 “No Kings” protests planned across Colorado on Saturday are anticipated to bring thousands of people peacefully demonstrating against the Trump administration’s policies.
A map shows protests planned in nearly every corner of Colorado — from towns along the Western Slope to cities up and down the Front Range, stretching east to Lamar and south across the state’s southwestern corner. Events are scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. and continue through 5:30 p.m., according to the map.
Group dances, puppets, food drives and other events are planned alongside marches that organizers say will send a united message against President Donald Trump’s policies.
In Glenwood Springs, a social justice group of grannies plans to sing. In Boulder, “Know Your Rights” cards will be shared with legal advice amid ongoing ICE arrests and the deployment of National Guard troops in cities across the country. In Pueblo, there will be voter guides, boxes to drop off ballots and voter registration.
The protests planned in Colorado are part of more than 2,700 events nationwide.
“Together, residents in Colorado and millions across America will send a clear and unmistakable message: we are a nation of equals, and our country will not be ruled by fear or force,” organizers said in a statement Friday morning.
Organizers in Boulder are calling the protests a peaceful “National Day of Action” that they say is in response to “growing abuses of power and corruption under the Trump administration.”
“The administration continues to undermine checks and balances, deploy federal forces against its own citizens and use government power to target individuals and companies,” organizers said.
Some Republicans have denounced the protests as anti-American. House Speaker Mike Johnson called it a “hate America rally.”
Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser called on Coloradans to turn out “en masse” Saturday to protest Trump’s use of the military in American cities.
“Don’t be afraid to show up. But we’ve also got to be peaceful,” Weiser, who is running for governor, said in an interview with Kyle Clark earlier this week.
“Do not engage. Do not escalate. If we can keep calm, be peaceful and be orderly, we are going to be able to keep the rule of law in our Republic,” he said.

Chris Richardson, a Republican representing Adams, Arapahoe, Cheyenne, El Paso, Elbert, Kit Carson and Lincoln counties, called Weiser’s encouragement a “mistake of judgment, tone and stewardship.”
“In a tense national moment, constitutional officers should lower the temperature, not escalate it,” Richardson said on a post on X. “We can defend federalism, civil liberties, and due process through courts, legislatures, and measured executive action. Making street politics the first resort erodes confidence in institutions and normalizes confrontation as a political tool.”
Richardson said he was not asking anyone to stay silent.
Saturday’s rallies follow mass protests June 14 that took place on the Army’s 250th anniversary, which coincided with Trump’s birthday. The president had called for a grand military parade, which critics said blurred the line between honoring the Army and honoring himself.
More than 5 million people across the U.S. gathered for the first No Kings protest.
In more than a dozen places across Colorado in June, thousands marched, chanted and raised signs in one of the largest demonstrations since the social justice protests of 2020 following the death of George Floyd.
People gathered peacefully and in many towns, police shut down roads, allowing protesters to spill onto the streets. Among the thousands of protesters in Denver, police arrested 36 for charges related to trying to cross Interstate 25, unlawful throwing of objects, resisting arrest and failure to obey a lawful order.
Indivisible Grand Junction, the group organizing the rally in Grand Junction, expects Saturday’s crowd to be larger than the one in June and are anticipating 3,000 people. There will be more safety team members and organizers have warned marchers not to engage with hecklers or counter protesters.
Now, protesters say they are speaking out on what they say are injustices that have escalated since June perpetrated against suspected undocumented immigrants, attacks on the rule of law, changing federal health care policy, and other concerns.
