Good morning, Denver. This is Morgan Riley with your local news update for Thursday, March 27, 2025. Word on the streets of Denver is that the city is buzzing with activity as we head into the weekend. Let's dive into today's top stories. First up, thousands of EPA employees rallied in downtown Denver yesterday to protest job and funding cuts proposed by the Trump administration. The demonstration, part of a national day of action, saw workers marching around Union Station carrying signs reading "public service is a badge of honor" and "science keeps us safe." EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin has suggested cutting the agency's workforce by up to 65 percent, raising concerns about the future of environmental protection efforts in Colorado and beyond. In sports news, excitement is building as March Madness comes to Ball Arena. The NCAA Men's Basketball Championship first and second rounds tip off today, with eight teams vying for a spot in the Sweet Sixteen. Local businesses are gearing up for an influx of visitors, with hotels and restaurants expecting a boost in revenue over the next few days. Now for a bit of human interest. Denver native and long-time community activist Renee Millard-Chacon made waves at yesterday's EPA rally, encouraging workers to continue their important work even in the face of potential cuts. Millard-Chacon, a Commerce City councilwoman, urged employees to "hide your talents and use your medicine locally," highlighting the importance of grassroots efforts in environmental protection. Looking ahead to the weekend, Denver's cultural scene is heating up. The 49th annual Denver March Powwow kicks off tomorrow at the Denver Coliseum, celebrating Native American heritage with three days of traditional dance, music, and art. And for music lovers, the Levitt Pavilion's free concert series returns on Sunday, featuring a diverse lineup of local and national acts. As for the weather, we're looking at a mix of sun and clouds over the next few days, with highs in the mid-60s. Perfect conditions for getting out and enjoying all that our city has to offer. In these times of change and uncertainty, it's heartening to see Denverites coming together to support one another and stand up for what they believe in. Whether it's rallying for environmental protection, celebrating cultural diversity, or simply enjoying a spring day in the Rockies, our community continues to show its strength and resilience.
