DENVER ( KDVR) — A “No Kings” protest in downtown Denver is causing road closures and service disruptions. The Denver Police Department said at 12:17 p.m. that Lincoln Street is closed at 14th Avenue and that additional road closures may occur in the area of the State Capitol Building. Alternate routes are advised to avoid traffic delays.
The “No Kings” theme was orchestrated by the 50501 Movement, a national movement made up of everyday Americans who stand for democracy and against what they call the authoritarian actions of the Trump administration. The name 50501 stands for 50 states, 50 protests, one movement.
Road closures are part of the Denver Police Department’s safety plan for the International Association of Chiefs of Police conference at the Colorado Convention Center from Saturday to Tuesday.
