This Aurora farmer's market, organized by a veteran, accepts food stamps: "A space for health and wellness"
"It brings everybody together. Fresh produce is one of those things that we all need," said James Grevious.
He's the organizer of Rebel Marketplace, which aims to bring fresh local produce to Aurora so people can eat healthier and live better.
"You can't plan for your future, you can't think ahead, and all these things if you're hungry, habitually hungry," said Grevious. "If you're malnourished, if you're eating junk food and sugars and all that stuff, that messes with your brain, and you can't necessarily plan your way out of some of these conditions that we're in."
He sweetens the deal for people on federal food assistance by increasing the spending power of people using SNAP.
"We also work with Nourish Colorado, so they have a 'Double Up Food Bucks' program, so every $20 that you spend on SNAP, up to $20, and double up. And then through my nonprofit, Urban Symbiosis, as well, we match that with our vouchers of an additional $20," said Grevious.
But now he's worried that his mission might take a hit. Between potential SNAP cuts from the Trump Administration's Big, Beautiful Bill and the fear that immigrants have about coming to public events, he says what this market will look like the rest of the summer is uncertain.
"We understand, we don't want people to kind of support, but then 'at their own risk,'" Grevious said. "We're trying to navigate, I don't know how we can navigate that."
But he says no matter what, he and his partners will continue to be out in Aurora to keep his community fed and healthy.
The next Rebel Marketplace will be Aug. 2 at the Aurora Town Center mall and then again on Aug. 6 at the Hoffman Library in Aurora.
"So this is just a small solution," Grievous said. "We're not solving Aurora's problems by any means, but we're trying to at least alleviate it and say 'hey, this is a space for health and wellness where your food is gonna be safe and clean.'"

Trump tariffs live updates: India hit with 50% tariffs as Trump's sweeping trade measures roll out
President Trump on Wednesday signed an executive order imposing an additional 25% tariff on India over its purchases of Russian oil. The new tariff, which will come into effect in 21 days, is set to "stack" on top of an existing country-specific tariff of 25%. In doing so, Trump is set to make good on a threat for higher tariffs on India, as he has accused the country of effectively financing the Russian war in Ukraine. "They're fueling the war machine," he charged in a CNBC interview. India's first 25% levy takes effect Thursday, part of scores of new duties that will see importers paying between 10% to 50% as they bring in goods from nearly 200 countries around the globe. Outside of India, Switzerland is the developed nation whose goods face a whopping increase: up to 39%. You can see the new rates Trump is set to levy in the graphic below: Trump also said this week that he would soon announce tariffs on semiconductor and pharmaceutical imports, as he prepares to add more sectoral duties to his mix of tariffs. He said duties on pharma could eventually balloon as high as 250%. In the past several days, Trump has unleashed a flurry of deals and trade moves leading up to his self-imposed deadline: Trump granted Mexico, the US's largest trading partner, a 90-day reprieve on higher tariffs. Trump hiked tariffs on Canadian imports to 35%, though goods contained in the US-Mexico-Canada agreement are exempt, keeping this hike's impact limited so far. The US agreed to a trade deal with South Korea. The agreement includes a 15% tariff rate on imports from the country, while the US will not be charged a tariff on its exports. Trump imposed 50% tariffs on semi-finished copper products starting Aug. 1. The president signed an order to end the de minimis exemption on low-value imports under $800, thereby applying tariffs from Aug. 29. Trump signed another order to impose a total of 50% tariffs on many goods from Brazil. However, it exempts key US imports like orange juice and aircraft parts that benefit Embraer (ERJ). The US and EU agreed to a trade deal that imposes 15% tariffs on EU goods. The nations are still working on finalizing many terms of the deal.

Trump hits India with additional 25% tariff over Russia oil buys President Trump has hit India with an additional 25% tariff due to India's purchase of Russian oil. The US president threatened India with higher tariffs earlier this week, which India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi called "unjustified," also calling out the US for its double standard over Russia. In an interview with CNBC on Tuesday, Trump said that India was helping to fuel the war machine. 'They're fueling the war machine. And if they're going to do that, then I'm not going to be happy,' Trump said. In the early days of trade negotiations, relations between the US and India appeared more friendly, with both sides saying they would reach a deal within days. However, over recent months ,things seem to have turned sour as neither side can agree on some of the finer details within the deal, which concern dairy and agricultural products. As a result, a trade war seems to have developed between the two sides, and now with this additional 25% tariff gift from Trump to Modi, the two seem further away from reaching an agreement than ever before. Modi's rival blasts 'bully' Trump as public opinion hardens Rahul Gandhi, Narendra Modi's most recognizable political rival, has come out to call President Trump a "bully" for his negotiation tactics.
