DENVER — Students from several schools in Denver marched out of classes on Tuesday morning to protest the Trump administration’s announcement that it will rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.

Students gathered at Barnum Park at West Sixth Avenue and Federal Boulevard before marching to the Tavoli Center on the Auraria campus. Students from West High School gathered in Sunken Gardens Park and walked to Lincoln Park.

Another large group walked in the Five Points neighborhood with police vehicles at intersections to help escort the students. Students at North High School walked out of classes and gathered across the street at Viking Park. The group then marched down Speer Boulevard toward the Auraria campus.

Several students held signs in support of DACA, which was enacted five years ago under the Obama administration.

2. good on them. and students at CU could protest their own school in solidarity

CU is one of 88 universities that broadcast sports on 257 limbaugh stations.

so limbaugh and another local rw blowhard after him on 850 KOA support trump and the station uses ralphie and the CU brand to attract advertising to pay for it.

4. Protests are happening in Phila, LA, Denver, DC, etc.right now.

Others are planned for later this evening (in San Diego it is at 6:00) and later in the week. Indivisible and other groups are acting fast. Call Congress and tell them to support DACA [phone].

7. I wonder if the Resistance will be spontaneous and ignite over some issue

People are pissed over what has been done to our country these 8 months.

And a politician who hates people, or some segment of the population, is in the wrong occupation.
