Hitting the Streets: A Massive Anti-Trump Rally in Downtown Denver
Denver, CO, wasn't just the Mile High City on June 14, 2025—it was also the spot for a colossal anti-Trump protest. Thousands gathered downtown, joining nationwide rallies queued against President Donald Trump's administration's controversial policies.
This demonstration doubled as a birthday celebration for the president but also commemorated the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary with a military parade in Washington, D.C. The scene in Denver was far from a celebration, however, as two other protests unfolded downtown—an 'All Out for Gaza, End the Genocide' and an 'Ice Out, Stop the Deportations.'
As the nationwide "No Kings" rallies swelled, Denver joined the fray, voiceing concerns over a range of issues:
- Immigration Enforcement Actions: Family separations and deportations of innocent individuals were top concerns[1][2].
- Threats to Free Speech: There was widespread opposition to perceived attacks on free speech under Trump's rule[1].
- LGBTQ Rights: Demonstrators championed LGBTQ rights, aligning with Pride Month[1].
- Solidarity with Palestinians: Some protesters extended support to the Palestinian cause[1].
- Solidarity with LA Protesters: Participants expressed solidarity with fellow demonstrators in Los Angeles[1].
Alongside these hot-button topics, downtown Denver played host to booths promoting community involvement and political engagement, providing a platform for various forms of activism. The conglomeration of different groups and causes illuminated the intersectional political landscape of our modern era[1][4].
Thousands marched down iconic streets like 17th Street, Speer Boulevard, and Colfax Avenue, with some donning symbolic attire like Adam Young, dressed as Uncle Sam[1][5]. The city didn't just set the backdrop for this compelling spectacle; it became the canvas for a vocal expression of dissent and unity.
