Nearly a thousand people gather in Boulder, Colorado, to protest sweeping job cuts at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), highlighting concerns over federal workforce reductions. The demonstration, organized by former Colorado Congressman David Skaggs, brings together current and former NOAA employees, environmental advocates, and community leaders. Skaggs, who played a key role in securing funding for the NOAA research center in Boulder, emphasizes that the large turnout reflects public opposition to the layoffs and broader concerns about government support for scientific research.
