Protesters plan to take to the streets across the Front Range again this weekend, with calls on social media for mass gatherings in Denver, Boulder, Fort Collins and Greeley, amid continued demands for reform to Colorado’s justice system ignited by the death of George Floyd.

The planned demonstrations follow a week of mostly peaceful activism in the region, which saw declines in incidents of vandalism, looting and arrests. Some elected officials also outlined promises to work with protesters to make lasting change.

Two Denver Public School Board members want to terminate Denver Public School's (DPS) contract with the Denver Police Department. The board's vice president Jennifer Bacon and secretary Tay Anderson announced the resolution on Friday on the steps of West High School near downtown.

"We want to be able to have a school system where students are greeted with school nurses, with full-time mental health supports with restorative practice coordinators and not Denver Police Department," Anderson said.
