That message resonated with 30-year-old Jasmine Bronstein, a Fort Collins resident and mother, who said she found the mood 'invigorating.' She and her 5-year-old son carried a sign that read 'Today we march. In November we vote.'
"I can't stand to see what's going on with America right now; it absolutely breaks me," she said. "I want to vote for (my kids') future."
Fort Collins resident Launie Parry was dressed in an inflatable superhero suit. She encouraged people to bang a red, white and blue gong if they promised to vote early.
