Protests, Buffs, and Freddy: A Vibrant Weekend in Boulder
Published 2 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for February 2nd. What a weekend of passion and purpose in our community, folks. Thousands hit the streets Saturday in what organizers are calling Boulder's biggest ICE protests yet, packing Canyon Boulevard and Broadway with chants of no hate, no fear, immigrants are welcome here. An estimated three thousand strong stretched blocks deep, fueled by national outrage over aggressive enforcement tactics, including the tragic killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. It kicked off with a heartfelt memorial bike ride, seven hundred cyclists honoring Pretti, led by local influencer Ryan Duzer from North Boulder Park. Mayor Aaron Brockett fired up the crowd, reminding us that in Boulder, everyone is welcome no matter their status. Drivers honked support, Rep Joe Neguse showed up to connect, and the energy spilled into Sunday's five mile F ICE group run. That solidarity carried into Friday's economic shutdown, where dozens of our favorite spots closed or donated proceeds to immigrant rights groups like Casa de Paz and the Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition. January Coffee served brews outside while protesting, Trident Cafe gave free tea for donations, Boulder Bookstore funneled twenty percent of sales to advocacy, and spots like Avanti, Blackbelly, Ozo Coffee, and Illegal Petes chipped in too. These actions spotlight how local businesses are turning words into real support for vulnerable neighbors, strengthening our community's backbone.
Shifting gears to brighter vibes, our Buffs broke a brutal six game skid last night, crushing TCU eighty seven to sixty one at home. Sebastian Rancik dropped seventeen, Isaiah Johnson added sixteen, and the CU faithful erupted, snapping that streak with dominant play that has everyone buzzing about a turnaround.
Tonight, catch the Philharmonic Orchestra at seven thirty in Grusin Music Hall on campus, streaming online too, or dive into Ride the Cyclone at The Spark, a wild tale of teens in limbo chasing a shot at life. Library lovers, Boulder's got storytimes galore today, plus Ancestry Club at eleven for family history digs. And dont miss Flatiron Freddy's Groundhog Day call later our local twist on winter's end, eighteen years strong.
On the policy front, watch Senate Bill twenty six oh six five from Boulder Senator Katie Wallace, aiming to limit certain insecticides, another push to protect our plates and pollinators. Transit talks heat up too, with Front Range rail eyeing ballot funding amid RTD tensions, but Boulder's leaders keep pressing for that Denver link.
Plenty to do, from yoga and coding clubs to STEAM labs this week keep that Boulder spirit rolling. This has been Boulder Local Frequency. Well see you tomorrow with more local updates.
