What’s the opposite of a shopping haul? The Burrito Brigade Chicago bike team passed out 250 burritos, water, Gatorade, and gift bags galore to spread a little joy as we head into the holidays. 🫶🏽🌯🚲✊🏽

Also, we did another home buyout last night. 20 dozen tamales, 40 bags of chips. Pulaski Orange line saw some love. 😘

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. ✊🏽

I’ve never seen a setup like this. She had 2 huge vats, double layered. It was incredible. Walter White would have been impressed by her setup. 👩🏽‍🍳

While yall were out chasing sky lights, me and the homies were rocking bike lights to pickup 20 dozen tamales and passing them out to the community. But go off 🙄

Sometimes…sometimes a neighborhood Facebook group post makes me proud 🥰

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. ✊🏽

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.

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. ✊🏽

5 cyclists. 5 vendors. 1 Love Fridge. 1 Chicago. ✊🏽

Cash from supporters ➡️ cash to vendors ➡️ safety of their home ➡️ food to the community. This is mutual aid. This is #BikeChi

Chat, turns out ppl like riding bikes, supporting their community, and don’t care much for ICE. This weekend we bought out 9 vendors, hosted a ride, and delivered over 250 burritos to hungry Chicagoans, coverage from Timeout, Block Club, Telemundo, and CNN. The message is clear #BikeChi shows up ✊🏽

What if instead of ICE terrorizing our communities, we had Mac and Cheese agents posted at corners for food emergencies?? Wife spotted these heroes at Madison/Halsted 👀 🫡 thank you for your service

As ICE continues to terrorize our communities, kidnapping our neighbors, 9 cyclists came together this morning at 6am to buyout 5 vendors and donate the food to a local shelter. They went home safe, hungry ppl were fed, this is #BikeChi ✊🏽
