Left-Wing Anti-ICE Activists Mobilize Colorado Students for Statewide School Walkout Sept. 4th

The Youth Coalition, a Denver-based left-wing student activist organization, appears to be the lead organizer of the walkout.

Students from more than 160 Colorado public schools will be participating in a “walkout” to protest US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The action, scheduled for September 4, is being promoted as a statewide “Walkout for ICE Out” day. The walkout has been promoted by left-wing activist organization 50501, which was a key group that was behind the “No Kings” protests around the nation. 

Participating students will leave class at 12 pm, according to organizers. A central rally is planned at La Alma Park in Denver, where students from area schools will gather to demand an end to immigration enforcement operations. It’s unclear whether teachers will participate in the political event.

The Youth Coalition, a Denver-based left-wing student activist organization, appears to be the lead organizer of the walkout, according to social media.

The group’s Instagram promotion, which features an ICE agent wearing a Nazi patch with blood on his hands, tagged a network of left-wing radical groups, including No Concentration Camps Colorado and the 50501 Movement. These allied groups have overlapping messaging around advocating for the abolition of ICE and immigration detention centers, as well as organizing extreme demonstrations against ICE operations.
