I wanted to share a free community tool I just finished building.

If you're ever trying to figure out what food trucks are actually open today (and where they are parked), I put together a live map that tracks their schedules in real-time. No more guessing or scrolling through old social media posts.

Also, since it's the season for local produce, I built a sister site that maps out all the local farmstands across the Western Slope so you can easily find fresh veggies, bread, eggs, and more.

If you run a food truck or farmstand (or know someone who does), tell them to add themselves! It's totally free to join. Hopefully, this makes it a little easier to support our awesome local vendors.

Come learn about the incident command system and tested tools for flexible response to incidents and emergencies!

This system is used by all emergency services, law enforcement agencies and military. It allows for a rapid and organized response that is flexible to any incident and can tailored quickly. It comes with a set of tools such as job action sheets that designate specific tasks/functions, identification and safety procedures, etc. These methods can also be used to break up long responses into operational periods. We’ll also be covering communication tools to aid in verification of information, pathways of information, and clear language. This structure is how ICE and other migra agencies are supposed to function. This knowledge will also make identifying their different roles easier on a scene and allow confirmers or responders to know who is ideal for them to try to talk to.

You can RSVP on our encrypted form here so we can send you the link to the training and a follow up email with materials from the training. This also helps give us an idea of the number of attendees even if you choose not to share personal information! We understand that people are hesitant to share their personal information so we do not require registration to attend. You can just click the zoom link provided in the details section at 6pm on April 24th. You are not required to be logged into an email address to attend the training.

This training is virtual only and presented by We Keep Us Safe: El Pueblo Unido Contra ICE. We Keep Us Safe is a grassroots initiative to help the metro Denver area organize proactively and effectively to protect our community members from being inhumanely kidnapped by ICE. We are developing a hub of resources and best practices targeted towards the Denver area, but many of the resources are statewide. This can be found on our website wkus-co.org! We are educating and activating community members through canvassing, training, and outreach. Our goal is to support interested volunteers across the Denver area in building community and solidarity–and to support volunteers in effectively self-organizing in the face of state violence.
