Why do I have stacks of candy? Bc I was meeting up with another organizer in the loop and spotted a candy vendor. Like spring flowers blooming, this is a great sign nature is healing. So we bought her out. ✊🏽

We sold out 2 tamale vendors, bought out 2 more vendors, and absolutely swarmed a family owned bakery. It was a good day with some the very best of #BikeChi 🥰 for the 4th installment of the Street Vendor Bike Tour. We persist. ✊🏽

Friends in my phone, CxS is adopting 9 members from ELLAS, a group of Latina breast cancer survivors to cover November grocery costs due to SNAP cuts. We’d like to raise $3,600. Donation info in the comments. Link to their website to learn more about them.

Tonight was the inaugural ride of our new home buyout program. We connect with vendors too scared to be out, and we purchase from them at home. Tonight we bought 250 tamales, divided into 3 teams to deliver all over the city to folks on the street, Love Fridges, and a youth shelter.

Fuuuuuuuuck ICE. We bought out 5 vendors this morning in Little Village and ICE is out there terrorizing the community. We also pass out whistles thanks to a supporter who 3D printed a ton for us. We keep us safe. ✊🏽
I just spent an hour chasing these ICE jagoffs through Bridgeport. They detained and questioned two old Chinese ladies (clearly dangerous criminals) then let them go. They are terrorizing the entire neighborhood. There have been people abducted this morning. I'm beyond enraged.

Sometimes I’m transporting 250 tamales on my cargo bike to feed a village. Sometimes it’s 3 tamales to feed myself. The most important thing is that your tamales make it home safe. 🫔😍 #BikeTamale

Last night we had 8 members attend Cycles of Support, our unemployment support group where we had a career coach present to us. One new member was a federal employee facing difficult times. Whether it’s vendors in the street or people in the job market, we provide support where it’s needed. ✊🏽
