Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.

Below, see photos tweeted by participants and observers of the demonstrations at CU Boulder and CSU organized under the hashtag #HandsUpWalkOut, followed by a Boulder Daily Camera video featuring interviews with some of the participants.
