‘No Kings’ protest defies Parker officials, will proceed despite security concerns
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.
