Stand Up Loveland

08/29/2026

Loveland and surrounding communities:

Show up and take a stand against data centers on September 1st! We need to tell our elected officials loud and clear: Loveland does not want - and cannot support - a data center.

This is our first real opportunity to stand up and be heard since the July announcement of a proposed data center at 3800 Wilson Ave (the old Woodward Governor site.) There's a pattern to this song and dance: SouthGate One developer Martin Lind bought the Kodak/Carestream site in Windsor for $3.5 million in February, then flipped it to Global AI in September for an eye-popping $15.6 million.

That facility in Windsor is now stuck in legal battle after being issued a stop work order for violations and it seems the G*I team is playing games with the appeal to hide the details of the Order to Abate.

Look at the data center in Cheyenne, WY that shut down the city’s wastewater for weeks.

Recent reporting says data centers have already TRIPLED the US’s water usage. As we witness devastating fires in Colorado each year due to drought, as we watch thousands of fish die this year in Boyd Lake and Lake Loveland last year, one has to wonder where the water will come from to feed the monstrous, water-guzzling machines.

Studies are beginning on the health risks to humans living near data centers:

Residents living nearby these facilities report noise impacting local wildlife, causing sleep disruption in humans, and ensuring instant loss of property values. The reasons everyday people should be opposed are myriad.

Data centers are wolves in sheep’s clothing and wreak havoc on the communities in which they are built. The promises of jobs and technology and modernization are the traded for environmental destruction. The only ones who profit are the ones making the deals while communities are being ruined. No matter where you land on the political spectrum, we ALL love our water, our landscape, our wildlife. That’s why we live here.

We must not let the billionaires turn Loveland into another speculative tech payout. We have to stand up and say no to ruining our community, killing our wildlife, permanently altering Loveland’s beautiful nature for our children and grandchildren.

Please join us this Tuesday (9/1/26) at City Council and make your voices heard! Let's make sure our community isn't the next in line to be sacrificed for profit!

Friends, we are in deeply dangerous times right now. We know you see it. The “detention facilities” that are modern day concentration camps for brown and black people.

We’ve seen the reports coming across our feeds and on the news, gossiped about in the halls at work, & whispered on playgrounds by terrified children about what is happening to people in these American camps.

Dirty water, maggot-filled food, moldy bread, lack of sanitation. Denial of life-saving medications and medical attention, refusal to let attorneys access their clients, children imprisoned before they were pregnant and now being detained without medical care in Texas, tuberculosis at the Aurora camp and public health officials are being denied access.

We’ve seen the protests that have left legal immigrants and American citizens dead, executed in the street with no due process, for exercising their protected First Amendment rights. They are framed as “instigators and interrupters” so the masses will side with the untrained, unqualified, mentally and physically inept state police terrorizing our country.

Now it’s coming closer to home: a mere 75-minute drive from Loveland. And the Hudson town council and some residents want opposition to go away so they can reap financial rewards off of human suffering and trauma.

History tells us we’ve been here before. Other countries have been here before. We know what happens when we stay silent. We know what horrors will inevitably ensue if we look away now.

We cannot.

The laws of humanity demand we rise up and stop injustice in our backyard. We must speak truth to those in charge so they will not be able to claim plausible deniability when the inevitable accountability comes. We will not give the town of Hudson peace until they agree to stop the progression of this camp.

We need you to act. Join us this Wednesday in Hudson. Grab a friend, call your neighbor, offer to drive for a carpool.

We must not stay silent.

CD-4 Congresswoman Lauren Boebert represents Loveland in the US House of Representatives. But does she really?

She claims to be a staunch supporter of “family values” and protecting children. But she does that while targeting transgender people in the name of God, perpetuating bigoted talking points so you don’t pay attention to who is truly harming kids. People like her son. Her president. Her colleagues.

She went to a public venue and acted like a petulant child by va**ng and “manually pleasing” her date in a public theater, then turns around and says *America* has lost her way. This is how your elected officials act in public? Acting with impunity while telling her constituents she’ll clean the swamp?

Her own son is now accused of CHILD EXPLOITATION but she wants you to believe she is holy, her views are Christian, and the boogeymen she names are the real threat to our kids.

And do not head to the comments to write anything about “it’s her adult kid and not her.” HUNTER. BIDEN. Full stop.✋🏻

November is 3 months away. If you think this woman is not actually fighting for you, for Loveland, for American values of freedom and inclusivity and community, you need to vote accordingly against her.

U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert’s son Tyler Boebert faces charges of sexual exploitation of a child, according to court records. The case originates out of Garfield County in Western Colorado and was filed…

All Star Cleaning Services of Fort Collins wanted what we wanted: a free community store without shame, minus potential barriers to getting help, and a radical resistance to the inhumane policies being implemented by the federal administration that are hurting our neighbors.

They offered the space and more, allowing our group to bring the vision to life.

We’ve can’t think of a better candidate for “Best Of.” Please vote if you agree!

The Big Horn concentration camp planned for Hudson, CO is not going to happen if we keep showing up.

Join us as we gather TODAY with Together Colorado as they explain the lawsuit they have filed against the facility and hear encouragement from leadership.

Then we’ll march with Notes of Dissent and others to the Hudson City Council where members of the public will be able to register and speak.

Please don’t forget to bring diapers. They will be used to represent the 1500 humans who will be incarcerated at the new facility if it goes through.

We have a human rights violating concentration camp in Aurora with a tuberculosis outbreak and despite officials demanding access to evaluate, officials operating that facility are denying access to public heath officials and treatment to prisoners.

There are literal children in the Dilley concentration camp in Texas who entered the facility not pregnant and now are; accusations are that staff are r@ping children there.

Many other camps have seen prisoner deaths without accountability. There are ongoing reports of tainted water, rotten food, and unsanitary conditions.

The time to stand up for each other was yesterday but if you missed that opportunity, then the time is today. We cannot continue to allow these unconstitutional and inhumane facilities to open up.

We will see you tonight! Together we can stop this!

Oops! We meant to share this awhile back but life happened.

Please keep showing up on Saturdays! Let’s just do it a wee bit earlier to save ourselves a little sunburn!

See you Saturday morning!

Wow! Today was a big day, y’all! Even with the amazing donations we received at our food drive during Good Trouble on Sunday, the pantry is again looking lean.

If you have the means to pick up supplies, we sure would appreciate your generosity! There’s a list of needed items below.

Our community is relying on us! 💕
