The gathering, sparked by mass layoffs at the agency, was also used to protest other Trump administration moves.

BOULDER, Colorado (Reuters) -Over 1,000 protesters gathered outside a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration building in Boulder, Colorado, on Monday, decrying Trump administration layoffs of what two current employees said were upward of 10% of scientists there.

Protesters said the cuts could have devastating impacts in severe weather situations and in industries like agriculture that depend on forecasting.

Hundreds of protesters gathered outside the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's office in Boulder after the Trump administration laid off hundreds of workers from the agency.
