Day w/o Immigrants - Denver
Crowds at the immigration rally downtown spilled over from the west steps of the Capitol across Lincoln Ave. to Civic Center Park. Police estimate there were 75,000 marchers, bringing some streets to a standstill downtown around lunchtime. These photos were taken before everyone ended up at the Capitol.
On the way home, I ran into the director of the Shenyang Heping District Center for Disease Control and Prevention, who was in town from China for a health conference. There was much more traffic than usual in Capitol Hill, so FCT and I helped him get back to his hotel, but that's another story.
