Just when you were starting to miss epic-scale protests in downtown Denver…
…they’re back — in time for Tax Day. In fact, Saturday’s planned rally is all about taxes, but this is one tax protest that doesn’t swing right. Not when it’s about Donald Trump’s taxes.
Denverite’s Andrew Kenney reports 10,000 people could turn out for this Saturday’s planned “March for President Donald Trump’s Taxes,” one of numerous rallies organized nationwide calling on the billionaire president to release details of his personal finances.
Here are the particulars, courtesy of Kenney:
When and where: The event will convene at Civic Center from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. this Saturday, April 15. Speeches will run from 11 a.m. to 12:15 p.m., followed immediately by the march. The route is just about a mile…
What to bring: Attendance to the main event is free. There will not be food trucks. Signs are allowed, but not signs on sticks. Parking will be scarce.
Charities will be on hand to accept donations of nonperishable foods and gently used clothing.
How to behave: The organizers ask attendees to stay off the Civic Center flowerbeds, pick up trash and bring their own snacks, water and sunscreen. Restrooms will be available.
The march is fully permitted by the city of Denver, according to public records. Questions and requests can go to march4trumpstaxreturn@gmail.com or to the Facebook event page.
There’s much, much more in Kenney’s report, including information about the origins of the event as well as details of other initiatives the organizers hope will gain momentum as a result.
