Four gatherings, four conversations that matter — starting August 17th and running through October. We're talking about turning out voters, understanding what's actually on the ballot, questioning who technology is really built for, and finding common ground across Denver's full political landscape.

Same place, same spirit: neighbors, organizers, and anyone curious enough to show up and ask "what can we do?"

📍 The Garage | 32nd & Osceola (3830 W. 32nd Ave.)
🕕 Mondays, 6–8 PM
🥘 Light potluck encouraged, never expected

New piece for Finding Resilience Substack Page: Aquifers and Community — Who Pays When Either Runs Dry?

Aquifers take generations to fill and can be drained in a season. Communities work the same way. This one traces that pattern through my own family in Globeville, from a 1903 smelter strike to the data center fight happening there right now — and asks what it actually takes to build a reserve instead of just spending down the ones we've got.

What reserves do you rely on? What reserve are you and your community tending right now?

The fragility of our food system is not a new problem. It is the result of centuries of decisions made for extraction, not for people or land. My new essay traces that history — and names the resistance that has never stopped. The farmers, seed keepers, compost makers, and community builders who have been building the alternative in the places the industrial system broke hardest. This is the moment to see the system clearly. And then to act where we are. Link below.

Lisa Rogers here. You may have noticed this page has a new name — we've transitioned Feed Denver to COMMUNITY RESILIENCE GATHERINGS - NORTHWEST DENVER. Here's why.

Some of you have been here since the Feed Denver days — when we were building urban farms, fighting for food sovereignty, and arguing that access to good food was a civic right, not a privilege. That work was never just about food. It was about power. Who has it, who doesn't, and what communities can do when they decide to build it themselves.

After Feed Denver, I spent years working across the Midwest — in environmental justice, in community organizing, in the ongoing work of helping people understand that the crises landing on their doorsteps are connected, and that the response has to be too. Different geography, same fight. The same question underneath everything: what does it take for communities to survive what's coming, and to come out stronger on the other side?

I'm back in Denver now. And I'm not the only one asking that question.

The NORTHWEST DENVER COMMUNITY RESILIENCE GATHERINGS started as an invitation — to neighbors to come face to face, to talk about what's happening in our neighborhoods, who represents us, what we need, and what we can build together. This page is the new home for that work.

If you followed Feed Denver because you believed communities should have power over their own lives — you're in the right place. The names have changed. The work hasn't.

**** And you don't have to be from Northwest Denver to join us. Everyone is welcome, no matter what neighborhood you're in. ****

NEXT GATHERING: July 20th, 6–8 PM | The Garage @ 32nd & Osceola
