A beautiful day at MAM with great turn out, abundant home cooked food and essential supplies was marred AGAIN by aggressive interference from bullies. They were out of control tonight doubling their presence from 2 to 4 of them, wrote a $100 ticket to one of our volunteers for not moving their car fast enough. Harassed our neighbors. ENOUGH! We sent our community support letter to calling him for relief and read it out loud at our “community speaks” platform. Mayor Johnston, are you listening??? We shall not be moved!

What a cold and rainy afternoon at MAM… but filled with so much community warmth. It hurt our hearts to see so many of our neighbors soaking wet and cold, but we were there for them with survival gear, home cooked food, clothing, medical care, and unconditional love, support and solidarity. Huge thanks to our amazing cooks, medics, helpers, supporters and advocates who showed up in force despite the adverse weather. ❤️❤️❤️ Also, contrary to false Parks & Rec dept narratives, we take care to clean up after ourselves!

Dear Mike Johnston

Mutual Aid Monday believes survival is a human right. By providing food, supplies, care, and community while protesting harmful city policies, MAM stands for dignity, mutual care, and the right of all people to exist safely and visibly in Denver. “We are a protest.”

After trying to get the event to move, the city now says it can stay — if organizers get a permit.

Grateful for a peaceful beautiful evening at MAM — for now. We call on the city of Denver (in particular out of control park rangers) to stop hindering and harassing us for no defensible reason. MAM is an essential heartbeat of community solidarity and basic human needs support for the most vulnerable and marginalized in Denver for nearly 6 years. We are entirely supported by the good people of Denver with funding and in kind donations. No paid staff. Never have we ever missed a Monday since inception, regardless of weather or holiday. Our continued weekly presence in our traditional location and responsible operation in front of city hall is not negotiable. This is what community looks like. We shall not be moved! Much love to all our helpers, cooks, medics, donors and advocates! Link in bio for ways to help.

A statement on requests to relocate:

Over time, the City has made repeated efforts to push Mutual Aid Monday out of our usual location by proposing relocations and even using things like landscaping projects to create barriers where we gather. We’ve experienced firsthand that when we are forced to move, people lose access. Folks can’t find us, can’t get what they need, and critical support is disrupted.

The City has mentioned that the ideal space for us is in front of the jail. We want to be clear: that is not a safe or appropriate place for our community. It does not support dignity, trust, or care; it is not in the best interest of the people, and will create further harm.

We are committed to staying at 14th & Bannock because it is central, known, and accessible. Consistency is what allows people to receive support and survival resources.

We will not be pushed away from a space where we have the right to gather, protest, and make sure unhoused voices are heard directly by City Council.

Mutual Aid Monday exists because the City has failed to meet basic needs. Our community continues to show up to provide food, supplies, and care that is necessary. While we do the work to keep our community fed, resourced, and connected, City leadership (including Mayor Mike Johnston and supporting officials) continues to create barriers instead of solutions. We are calling on the Mayor’s office to listen to people directly impacted and to stop creating further obstacles for communities seeking care.

Above all, we will continue to prioritize protecting our community. That means choosing spaces that are safe, accessible, and rooted in dignity; and pushing back when decisions put our people at risk.

Thank you to everyone who continues to stand with us, show up, and take care of each other.
