Episode Synopsis
Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Thursday, November 6, 2025.We begin today as Boulder, like much of Colorado, continues to navigate the effects of the now 35-day federal government shutdown. Families across the area are grappling with the halt of SNAP federal food assistance, officially cut off since November 1. Governor Jared Polis and Colorado’s leaders are stepping up, with the state tapping reserves to fund local food support. Around Boulder County, food pantries such as Peak Abundance and community kitchens like Lovin’ Cup are rallying, joining forces with local markets to make sure no neighbor goes hungry during this time. If you’re looking for ways to help, you can donate at participating local groceries, where just ten dollars can provide a week’s worth of food to a family. On the civic front, Boulder residents turned out in strong numbers for this week’s election. Local voters overwhelmingly supported statewide Propositions LL and MM, ensuring expanded free school meals funded by new tax measures. The county voted yes by large margins, a clear sign of Boulder’s commitment to feeding families and kids through school and community partnerships.Shifting from government news to courts, there’s an update this morning in the June terror attack case at an Israeli hostage supporters’ rally in downtown Boulder.
