Resistance is Everywhere

March 25, 2026 (posted 3/27 )

ICE made their neighbors ‘prisoners in their own homes’. So 130 Memphis residents signed up to deliver food

Excerpt

But the community rose to meet the challenge. Initially they had nearly a dozen people who volunteered as delivery drivers; now they have about 130. One volunteer built an app to help make the process smoother for people working on the logistics side. “The pantry is really the truest example of a community effort,” Hampton said. “People from all across the community, different walks of life, different religions, different ethnicities – everyone came together to make this happen.”
