Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.

A piece I made back at the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine depicting the goddess Berehynia standing up against the black dragon of war, protecting her home and people.
