Several thousand people gathered at the Colorado State Capitol in Denver on Saturday, April 8, as part of a nationwide day of protest against the Trump administration's actions.

This week on Regional Roundup, we hear reports from across the region on the "Hands Off" protests, which drew thousands to the streets as part of a nationwide day of action against recent Trump administration policies.
We also recognize National Library Week with a visit to a unique library in Westcliffe, Colorado, and a report on the elimination of federal funding for libraries and other cultural institutions.
Plus, we break down NEPA, a cornerstone of environmental law, and close the show with a story about a recent powwow in Durango.
