Wednesday, August 5

Wednesday Protest at Hover and Clover — 8 a.m. — 9:30 a.m. — Hover St. & Clover Basin Dr., Longmont

From the organizers: “Join us to stand up against inhumane authoritarianism! Let’s express not only our disgust with our current inhumane government, but also a vision of what we’d like to see. Bring a sign that supports the causes you care about. Signs that express anger toward specific individuals (you know who) have been shown to be less effective. If you don’t have a sign, come anyway. Ask a friend to join you. All are welcome, including children. This is a peaceful, but not silent, protest. Join in solidarity with new friends and old. We have extra signs you can borrow if you don’t have one.”

Together Colorado: People’s Hearing on the Hudson ICE Detention Center — 4:30 p.m. — 5 p.m. — Location Provided Upon Sign Up

From the organizers: “Come hear from experts and community members about the environmental, health, and community impacts that the Town of Hudson is ignoring by giving ICE and GEO Group preferential treatment. As efforts move forward to reopen the Big Horn Detention Center, we are coming together to reaffirm our commitment to welcoming communities, protecting families, and building a Colorado where every person’s dignity is honored. Attendees are encouraged to stay for the Hudson City Council meeting at 5:30 PM, as it’s an important opportunity for continued community presence and engagement.”

The Business of Deportation: Contractors, Cash & Colorado Updates — 6 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. — Virtual Event

From the organizers: “Immigration detention isn’t just a policy; it’s a business. Join Solidarity Warriors as we pull back the curtain on the companies and contractors making money off detention and deportation, and bring it home with the latest on what’s happening in Colorado. We’ll break down the major players profiting from this system, including the ICE Air network flying shackled humans across and out of the country, private prison giants like GEO Group, and the government officials with financial ties to them. Understanding the money trail helps us understand who’s really driving these policies, and who we need to hold accountable. We’ll also cover the latest on proposed immigration detention centers, including any developments that could affect Colorado communities directly. Plus, a roundup of local Colorado immigration news.”

Even as the climate crisis accelerates and we witness fresh attacks on clean energy programs and climate science, some of our allies in Congress are engaging in ‘climate hushing.’ There is a clear majority of Americans who believe climate change is caused by human activity and that federal action is urgently needed. That’s why we’re showing up. Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned organizer, your voice matters. Just bring yourself, a friend if you’d like, and have a fun time. Join us and let’s build grassroots power and fight back!”
