Colorado chapters of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) led protests against controversial speakers at two separate events last week. The Mesa County DSA led a protest against white nationalist Jared Taylor at Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction on March 27, and the Colorado Springs DSA led a protest against conservative political strategist Steve Bannon, who headlined the Colorado GOP gala at the Phil Long Music Hall.
Following the primary elections in Colorado, local Democrats held a “Unity Rally” in Acacia Park in Colorado Springs Wednesday, headlined by U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO). While Democrats are rallying supporters over the recent Dobbs Supreme Court decision, which overturned Roe v. Wade, members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) are urging Democratic elected officials to take action to end the filibuster, the 60-vote threshold in the Senate needed to pass legislation, and expand the Supreme Court.
