Live at the west side of the capitol right now where people are gathering for political prisoners of the #denver branch for the party of socialism and liberation otherwise known as Denver PSL.

Organizers and protestors with the party were arrested Thursday by denver PD.
After about an hour of impassioned speakers including elisabeth Epps and Elijah McLain's mother who continues her silence

Denver PSL and supporters are now marching through denver calling to free all political prisoners.
This an impassioned march of 200.
Its loud:
This march has some steam

Gone through downtown and heading back to colfax
PSL Members and supporters cheered so political prisoners could hear them outside the jail.

And now a few hundred protestors confront police on colfax.
" A C A B!"

"All cops are bastards!"
Rally continues outside the justice center. Protestors had a long cheer for political prisoners within this jail and a long "fuck donald trump!" Chant.
"I dont give a fuck about a building. I care about justice for elijah mcclain!"

"The message has not changed. We want the police charged."

Police watch from across the street.
The message today has been consistent. PSL members want charges dropped and the release of all political prisoners. Seeing the charges as a ludicrous intimidation tactic. And an attack on protestors first amendment rights.

Chanting "drop the charges!"
"We won't stop fighting!"
Psl members and supporters marched back to the capitol steps. Encouraged people to join their party and organize.

After PSL members adjourned and turned off the mic other non-PSL protestors called for others stay in the streets in the name of Antonio Blackbear a Lakota man...
...Killed by denver pd a few weeks ago.

Other folks called for people to be at the ICE geo detention center tmw at 1 with #abolishICE

And a general assembly at Alma Park Sunday at 6.

There are still a hundred people or so around the capitol.
Signing off and ending this thread.

Peace ✌
