No Kings in Idaho Springs

The Clear Creek County Democratic Party hosted the No Kings demonstration and march on October 18. Estimates of the crowd size vary; the Clear Creek Democrats counted 175 people on the bridge. Colorado Public Radio reported that "nearly 200" people marched from the Highway 103 Bridge to the Idaho Springs Town Hall. See Colorado Public Radio's reporting here, scroll down to the section on Idaho Springs.

Whatever the actual count, the turnout for the October 18 march was more than twice that of the first No King's march on June 14.
