But Memphis is the true mecca <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">of civil rights activism, culture, and revolution. So much so, that many Memphians recognize a duty of service in our DNA.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are three young Memphis changemakers doing just that:<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.boaatpress.com\/justin-davis]\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Justin Davis<\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7284\" src=\"https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Screen-Shot-2021-01-19-at-10.21.57-AM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"382\" height=\"244\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Screen-Shot-2021-01-19-at-10.21.57-AM.png 778w, https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Screen-Shot-2021-01-19-at-10.21.57-AM-300x192.png 300w, https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Screen-Shot-2021-01-19-at-10.21.57-AM-768x492.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 382px) 100vw, 382px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">U.S. Representative Ayanna Pressley says, \u201cThe people closest to the pain should be closest to the power.\u201d This philosophy is one Justin Davis has adopted into his leadership style. As brilliant an academic and a writer as the Pushcart Prize nominee is, he spends more time making space than taking space. Davis got plugged into the Memphis Bus Riders Union with Paul Garner and the Mid South Peace and Justice Center during his time at Rhodes College. The membership, leadership, agenda, and goals of the organization are centered around Memphis public transit users, with most members riding the bus to and from meetings. Davis\u2019s poetry resonates heavy and has touched many through the journals, magazines, and media outlets that have published his work. He continues to refine his craft at the University of Memphis, pursuing an MFA in poetry. Being a full time student hasn\u2019t stopped his work with the bus riders. \u201cNo Buses, No Peace,\u201d can be heard chanted at their demonstrations. The peace that comes from affordable and accessible public transit is the vision that Justin strives for every day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jordan Occasionally<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7283\" src=\"https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Screen-Shot-2021-01-19-at-10.21.49-AM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"195\" height=\"255\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jordan Occasionally is a true cornerstone of the resistance on all fronts. Musically, JD views their work as a time capsule, capturing not only their individual growth but the urgency of our collective current moment. Amid a generation \u201ctired of waiting for change,\u201d JD\u2019s passionate leadership in Black Lives Matter demonstrations and calls to action toward defunding and abolishing police is yet another move toward a flourishing community ecosystem. A mission of combating injustice through mutual uplift remains at the forefront of JD\u2019s activism. When the COVID-19 pandemic struck, they leapt into action, creating an initiative to provide free masks, sanitizing products, and informational resources for those most in need through a series of pop-ups in the Memphis area. Known as PPEFORBIPOC (Personal Protective Equipment for Black and Indigenous People of Color), this effort directly reflects the root of JD\u2019s artistry: empathy, understanding, and spurring social change through cultivating community. \u201cPeople can see your joy and your radiance and it will inspire them,\u201d JD says. \u201cMy joy is social justice. My peace is social justice. Who I love is social justice. Writing our experiences into my music, sharing our stories, and promoting what matters most, that\u2019s my revolution. That\u2019s my legacy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.londonlamar.com\/\">London Lamar<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7285\" src=\"https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Screen-Shot-2021-01-19-at-10.25.37-AM-709x600.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"363\" height=\"307\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Screen-Shot-2021-01-19-at-10.25.37-AM-709x600.png 709w, https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Screen-Shot-2021-01-19-at-10.25.37-AM-300x254.png 300w, https:\/\/wearememphis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Screen-Shot-2021-01-19-at-10.25.37-AM.png 752w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 363px) 100vw, 363px\" \/><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">London Lamar is a native Memphian and is one of the youngest members of the Tennessee General Assembly. This year marks her second term as a State Representative.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">London works tirelessly to engage young Memphians in politics. She started organizing millennials in college at Saint Mary\u2019s College in Notre Dame, Indiana and continued that work after moving back to Memphis in 2013. Her first order of business was reorganizing the then dormant Shelby County Young Democrats organization. The Young Dems have given a voice and opportunities to countless young people to engage in politics locally and nationally actively. London has boots on the ground in organizing grassroots campaign efforts in just about every election in Memphis. London has a strong presence that is only growing stronger as she drafts and passes legislation to benefit her district on a Statewide level. London looks forward to educating young voters, developing youth into motivated citizens, and making progressive changes to the State of Tennessee. \u201cFor Memphis to thrive, we must become intentional about growing the next generation of leaders through opportunities to make a real impact,\u201d says London.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fight for justice, equity, and equality to continue.
