“It's upsetting, considering that we're talking about corruption that affects our democracy," she said. “I don't understand why everyone isn't out in the streets.”
In Denver, Thaddeus Bruno, 41, lamented that only a few hundred people had turned out. A friend attributed it to people being “Trump-sick,” or worn out by the controversies surrounding the president.Some activists acknowledge that impeachment doesn't fire up people like life-and-death issues such as health care, guns or climate change.
Jonah Minkoff-Zern of Public Citizen, one of the groups spearheading the demonstrations, cautioned against evaluating the impeachment marches purely on head count. He noted they were organized at the last-minute, on a weeknight, to coincide with the scheduled House vote on the two articles of impeachment Wednesday.Some were cheered by the turnout in often bitter winter weather.
“All of us have to turn out for this one,” said Joelle Brouner, 46, a disability-rights activist who has cerebral palsy, said in front of the Colorado state capitol in Denver. “If we can't take action in this particular circumstance, I question whether we will have the separation of powers we need to be a Republic.”
