Civic Action Calendar for May 21st 2026 KGNU News
On the weekly Civic Action Calendar, we’ll share information about actions and events hosted by community-based organizations across the Front Range.
Tonight at 6:30 p.m. – Colorado Without Cages will host a screening and discussion of “And Water Brings Tomorrow”
The film follows community-led campaigns to close prisons and ICE detention centers around the country. There will be a post-screening panel discussion about immigrant detention, prison abolition, and the coalition’s work to shut down the GEO ICE detention center in Aurora. That’s at the Sie Film Center at 2150 E Colfax Ave. in Denver. More info and tickets at coloradowithoutcages.org.
Tomorrow from noon-7:00pm: KGNU is hosting a grand opening event at our new downtown Boulder location – at 1720 14th St.
You can help cap off KGNU radio week by checking out our brand new building in downtown Boulder tomorrow! We’ll start off the day with a ribbon cutting, there will be activities, libations, and a silent auction. All proceeds will go right back to the station you love, strengthening Boulder’s media system in a time where it’s needed more than ever.

Also Sunday from 10:30AM-noon, Grief and Resistance Ritual is a community ceremony honoring our personal and collective grief and giving voice to our resistance.
The gathering is for those who feel this year has brought profound losses, whether personal and collective. The Boulder-based group organizing the event will gather to honor those losses, and say “Our grief is an expression of love.” They welcome all who want to join in peace and ceremony, as you are: afraid, angry, sad, numb, unsure, and those carrying more than words can hold. Organizers can be contacted through communitygriefandgratitude.org.
The Civic Action Calendar airs every Thursday on the Morning Magazine, KGNU’s weekday morning show featuring in-depth discussions on local news issues. Click here to listen to other episodes of the Morning Magazine.
