‘No Kings 3’ draws crowd in Monument
Large crowds gathered throughout Colorado last week to oppose the Trump administration, with separate demonstrations occurring in Colorado Springs, Manitou Springs and Monument in El Paso County.
As with previous “No Kings” protests, thousands of people from a variety of ages and backgrounds assembled — with some donning elaborate costumes, some toting personalized signs and many doing both — to express their growing frustrations with actions by the Trump administration and a lack of justice resulting from the files of human trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
New areas of focus on Saturday afternoon included the death of two American citizens by federal immigration officers in Minneapolis in January and the U.S.-Israel war with Iran that began last month.
Nationwide, an estimated 8 million people gathered across 3,300 events, with the largest turnout occurring in Minneapolis at over 200,000.
Elsewhere in El Paso County, Manitou Springs and Monument held demonstrations earlier in the day, each drawing hundreds of people. It marked the first time Monument held a No Kings protest.
