Stop Punk in the Park? Petition Points to Fest Producer's Trump Support as Reason to Boycott

This is an article that I found on Denver's local Newspaper , the great Westword

sad that the DIY punk scene seems to be long gone. and expressing any support of fascism at a show would get you a bloody nose at a minimum. kudos to this guy for trying.

and how fitting that the "punk in the park" festival is actually being held in Denver's stockyards.
