Another rally condemning the actions of the Trump administration took to the streets of downtown Longmont Saturday.

With handmade signs held high, protesters gathered on both sides of Main Street between Longs Peak Avenue and Fourth Avenue. People chanted and passing cars honked, and the large crowd went on for roughly a couple hours.

“It’s just nice to see so many people activated, because it makes us feel like we’re not alone,” protest participant Rachel Sears said.

Longmont joined communities across the country this weekend in protesting perceived threats to democracy and civil rights. Some protesters, including those at the Longmont event, commemorated the anniversary of the start of the American Revolutionary War by calling for “no kings.”

A number of signs expressed sentiments against fascism and in favor of defending democracy. One read “Down With The Crown,” while another proclaimed “Democracy Not Dictatorship.”

Two weeks ago, downtown Longmont was the site of a crowd that gathered amid the “Hands Off” protest, another nationwide rally against President Donald Trump. Lyn Lowry, a coordinator for the “Hands Off” protest and this weekend’s protest, said the goals of both rallies are similar — to inspire people and bring them together.

“It’s to have them see that they aren’t alone,” Lowry said.

Longmont Public Safety Department estimated the crowd size at around 1,300 to 1,500 people, according to Robin Ericson, a department spokesperson.

“We have to keep going,” Lowry said. “This is the least we can do.”

One protester said she was worried about the way the Trump administration has targeted U.S. national parks and women’s rights. Another protester, Laura Allured, had similar concerns.

“We’re worried about Trump’s policies, the future of the county, the future of democracy,” said Allured, who also attended the April 5 Longmont rally.

Silver Creek High School senior Hunter Robertson runs the school’s Gender and Sexuality Alliance club. He said it’s important to protest recent Trump administration policies.

“They’re affecting people who are graduating, who are becoming 18,” Robertson said. “It makes people afraid when they shouldn’t be, even in very positive places like we are so lucky to have here in Longmont.”

Elijah Charlton, a freshman at Silver Creek, also attended the rally.

“There’s been a lot of injustices and some crazy things happening in the government,” Elijah said. “This is what I felt like I could do about it.”

Elijah called the number of fellow protesters “invigorating.”

“There’s a lot of good energy here,” Elijah said.

Nearby, crowds also amassed in Boulder and Berthoud. Outside of Berthoud Recreation Center on Saturday, at least 150 to 200 people gathered in protest of the president, whose administration has moved quickly to implement stronger measures related to illegal immigration, reshape the nation’s global trade policy and reduce the federal workforce, among other actions. The anti-Trump rally in Boulder Saturday took place along Broadway, according to event organizer Barbara Kish.
