Denver’s third annual womxn’s march started much the same way it began in 2017. In the early morning, crowds of marchers bundled in coats and pink hats, flooded into Civic Center Park. Attendance this year didn’t come close to the more than 100,000 people seen three years ago, when 53-year-old Jillian Allison first attended.  

“We couldn’t even do the march because it was too crowded to actually do the circuit,” she said.

Colorado lawmakers plan to push a proposal that would form a new judicial district, the state's first in more than half a century.

The Denver Post reports the plan calls for carving a new jurisdiction out of the growing 18th Judicial District, which encompasses Arapahoe, Douglas, Lincoln and Elbert counties southeast of Denver.

The district contains more than 1 million people, the most populous of the state's 22 judicial districts.
