Brothers and Sisters in Arms: Fight for Memphis

A Message from a Memphis Citizen:

Raise awareness by amplifying our work on social media.

Work with anti-incarceration organizations where you live with us in mind, and let us know of the progress. A rising tide lifts all boats and we celebrate success wherever it happens.

Build your anti-racist skills. It honors the many Black Memphians who fight for social justice.

When you spend money in your community, choose minority-owned businesses whenever you can

Volunteer with a local org helping immigrants

Stay connected with us. It helps to know that people SEE us. The occupation of federal agencies and the national guard has taken a toll on people here, and the flood of bad makes it hard to stay positive.
