  • Resumen

  • Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Friday, May second, twenty twenty-five. Let’s start with one of yesterday’s biggest local stories. Hundreds gathered downtown for May Day rallies, raising their voices against federal cuts to science and labor programs. For a city like Boulder that thrives on its research labs and tech sector, these cuts are hitting close to home. Protesters included scientists, university staff, and families, all worried about job security and the future of local innovation. The atmosphere was passionate, with signs, speeches, and a strong sense of solidarity reminding us just how connected Boulder is to national policy shifts.

    Looking ahead to today, one of Boulder’s own, Professor Reiland Rabaka, is stepping onto a regional stage. Rabaka leads CU Boulder’s Center for African and African American Studies and today he’ll be at the Africa Summit in Denver. His talk will focus on building bridges between African communities here in Colorado and the broader diaspora, reminding us that our city’s diversity is a real strength. His center, newly opened just last year, is already drawing statewide attention and Governor Polis even recognized its founding with a dedicated day for African and African American Studies in Colorado. Rabaka’s message is all about fostering understanding and harmony, values Boulder can certainly get behind.

    As we roll into the first weekend of May, the local events calendar is packed. If you’re seeking something fun, check out live music downtown tonight, grab a bite at the Pearl Street food trucks, or browse the Boulder Farmers Market for fresh spring produce. Don’t forget, trivia nights and art fairs are in full swing, offering something for everyone. For families, several community parks are hosting outdoor movie nights as the weather finally begins to cooperate. And, of course, there’s always an adventure just outside your door, whether it’s a hike at Chautauqua or a scenic bike ride along Boulder Creek.

    A quick public service reminder, with the recent increase in wildfire risk, it’s a good time to review your emergency evacuation plan. Local officials are urging residents to stay prepared as we head into the drier months.

    That wraps up today’s roundup. From advocacy to arts, Boulder keeps buzzing with energy and purpose. This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
