Hundreds of people with the Occupy Boulder movement marched through downtown Saturday, carrying signs and expressing their frustration with corporate greed and the poor economy.
“Our country is hurting because of the lack of jobs. Students are paying way too much money for tuition,” said Theresa Crater, 60, a professor at Metropolitan State College of Denver. “The sixties are back. Suddenly something happens and everyone gets it.”
The Occupy Boulder rally was organized by the recently formed Boulder chapter of the progressive group and was part of the Occupy Wall Street movement that has spread across the nation.
Organizers said about 700 people attended the march; a Camera reporter and photographer estimated about 300 to 500 were present. Boulder police said they didn’t bulk up their presence for the march and did not have an estimate.
