People with masks on and signs saying BLACK LIVES MATTER and displaying outrage over police brutality gathered at a high school near the intersection of Green Valley Ranch Boulevard and Tower Road. From STRIVE Prep – Green Valley Ranch, they walked together up Green Valley Ranch Boulevard and onto Peña Boulevard.
The chant of “I can’t breathe” lasted for nearly 10 minutes and resulted in a strange sight in the daylight hours — no cars on the road to DIA.

Five students who call themselves BLM Metro Denver started the march. They are all recent STRIVE Prep graduates and decided that because many of their parents weren’t letting them go to the rallies that have been taking place daily in downtown Denver, they would go ahead and organize their own for people who live in the Green Valley Ranch and Montbello neighborhoods. The five spoke to the crowd before starting the march and at the conclusion they were planning to register voters. That was something they planned to do before the march started but stormy weather that blew through caused some delays.
A student-led protest/march is supposed to start right now in Green Valley Ranch, but the weather is creating some problems. Rain and wind have picked even more up since I took this video @CBSDenver pic.twitter.com/3d3QibP7la

The marchers were heading off an exit of Peña Boulevard just after 5 p.m. and were planning to head back to end the march at STRIVE Prep.
