NoCo CommUNITY Store opens as free market for essentials in Loveland

A Loveland-based mutual-aid effort called Stand Up Loveland, in partnership with All Star Cleaning Services, is opening the NoCo CommUNITY Store—a free market offering food, diapers, clothing and other essentials with no signup or ID required; donations are welcome and volunteers are sought. Located at 120 W. Saturn Dr., Unit A, the market opens April 18 (4-6 p.m.) and will be open on Tuesdays (2-5 p.m.), Fridays (11 a.m.-2 p.m.), and Sundays (2-4 p.m.) starting April 19, with hopes to partner with local farmers for fresh produce and to store meat and eggs safely in a refrigerator/freezer as donations grow.

Minnesota neighbors mobilize to shield immigrant communities from ICE raids

Amid a sweeping ICE surge and the killings of two observers, Minnesota communities—especially Latino and Somali residents, unions, and faith groups—built an expansive, nonviolent network to defend neighbors: documenting agents, providing rides and groceries, running know-your-rights hotlines, and staging protests and boycotts that drew tens of thousands into action.

NES under fire for allegedly rejecting union help during Nashville outages

Nashville Electric Service is facing criticism after union members and contractors claimed NES declined offers of linemen from the IBEW and other crews during a winter storm, potentially favoring contracted workers. NES says it’s operating under mutual-aid agreements and already has contracted crews, with roughly 700 linemen deployed as outages persist in freezing weather; a local petition urges NES to hire any available linemen, while IBEW reps say numbers aren’t clear.

2020 Never Ended: Minneapolis Turns Protest Energy Into ICE Watch

Amid a DHS ICE surge in Minneapolis, residents activated neighborhood rapid-response networks formed during the 2020 uprisings to document enforcement actions, coordinate mutual aid, and support families, drawing on groups like CANMN and Defend the 612; organizers say the aim is to limit harm and protect communities, while residents report intensified surveillance and threats as the federal response widens.

Security Halts Distribution of Free Masks Outside Albuquerque Hospital

MaskBlocABQ, a mutual aid network in Albuquerque, distributed 675 free high-filtration masks outside Presbyterian Hospital to patients, healthcare workers, and visitors. The group aims to advocate for the use of masks in healthcare settings, especially since major hospitals in New Mexico dropped masking requirements in April. However, security guards asked the group to leave, citing the hospital's policy against solicitors. MaskBlocABQ and similar grassroots efforts are calling for the reinstatement of mask mandates in healthcare settings and providing masks for everyone. The group has distributed 15,000 masks so far and is committed to stopping the transmission of COVID-19.
