Whatever your feelings about the current commander-in-chief, it's hard to deny the flurry of protest activity ignited by President Donald Trump and his administration. But Denverites were fired up even before the election; the Dakota Access Pipeline protests — and arrest of American Indian Movement of Colorado member Red Fawn Fallis at one such event in October — shook the local indigenous community and its allies and environmentalists into action well before the Women's March and refugee ban.

Browse our recent protest coverage and catch up on the latest action.
