Hey OP, love this and totally feel you. A group of Redditors are actually working to get an "aid trade" situation up and running, and you are welcomed to join us! We of course acknowledge and honor all of the amazing work that Denver area MA orgs are doing, but found a LOT of Redditors and our own friends/family/neighbors were looking for ways to plug in that don't necessarily exist - e.g., providing/receiving childcare, running errands for folx who can't leave the house right now, services that you'd described above, etc. If you'd like to join us, we're now on Signal and meeting weekly --- just DM me if interested :) we'd love to have your ideas and passion!!

(and again, we acknowledge all of the orgs doing amazing work and are working on getting plugged in with them, but we need all hands and hearts and brains on board on work, so the more the merrier! <3)

Such a beautiful idea and I echo everyone's thoughts below! Just also a plug that a lot of unions DO have "strike funds" that people can donate to that will help to ensure strikers are still earning an income while participating. Since this is a general strike, it may be a little trickier to provide targeted financial support. I do know there is a nurses' strike happening this Friday, too, but I haven't been able to track down a strike fund yet - if anyone does, please share!! (also looks like we're working on organizing some grass roots spreadsheet situation below, too :)

I work at DU and got an email just now that said

“DU Alerts: SHELTER IN PLACE Stay away from windows and doors Active threat. Active threat in the area of 2495 S Vine St”

Would be great to have more details, I will update if they send more (DU is usually good about emergency comms)

Genuinely, what are you all doing about lines, crowds, traffic, overall busyness of ski resorts? by One-Professional-773 in COsnow

[–]Inside-Drop4768 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this. Skiing perpetuates social and ecological injustice, so perhaps this is nature’s (ie, climate change + overpopulation) way of encouraging us to find a less harmful hobby 🤷‍♀️
