RMV editorial board: Denver braces for “No Kings” protests fueled by far-left groups

This Saturday, a coalition of far-left activist groups is planning to flood downtown Denver for a protest they’re calling “No Kings Day”—timed deliberately to coincide with President Trump’s birthday and a nationwide military parade celebrating the Army’s 250th birthday.

While organizers claim the event is a celebration of “freedom from tyranny,” their messaging, sponsors and past behavior suggest otherwise. The event—set to take place at Lincoln Veterans Memorial Park from 1–6 p.m.—includes an “activist fair” featuring over 30 organizations.

DENVER (KDVR) — After the town of Parker tried to cancel a “No Kings” protest due to the Parker Days Festival on Saturday, the event is taking place anyway.

On Saturday, June 14, a group known as “No Kings” is planning a “nationwide day of defiance” against the Trump administration on President Donald Trump’s birthday. The group said during Trump’s birthday festivities, they’re planning on showing up around the country to say “no thrones, no crowns, no kings.”

Protests will be held in Colorado and all over the country, including Parker, even after the town of Parker said it had to be canceled due to a scheduling conflict.

The town said the Parker Days Festival, which is hosted by the Parker Chamber of Commerce, is a permitted event that takes place the same weekend every June, with an estimated 350,000 people attending the event. Because of the festival, the town said resources and staffing are limited.
