Hundreds of protesters gathered outside the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's office in Boulder after the Trump administration laid off hundreds of workers from the agency.

A crowd hundreds strong gathered near the NOAA campus in Boulder on Monday to protest cuts made to the agency last week as part of the Trump administration’s effort to downsize the federal government.

Addressing the crowd gathered just outside the NOAA research center that bears his name, former Democratic U.S. Rep. David Skaggs, who represented Boulder in Congress for 12 years before his retirement in 1999, hailed the show of solidarity with “public servants all around the country.”
