901 Harm Reduction, Memphis, TN (2026)

01/24/2026

STOP! You can help us keep our unhoused community alive RIGHT NOW. Read and share!
Everyone and their mother is sharing the Warming center details which is great, but we work directly with our unhoused community in Memphis everyday and we know directly from them that those places are often overcrowded and unsafe. If it saves people's lives today then we are glad it exists. BUT Our unhoused comrades have experienced theft, s*xual harassment and one of our regulars got stabbed last year and then wasn't believed after trying to report it just 20mins later and instead got kicked out. While the non-profits and charities with 6 figures worth of funding haven't spent anything on treating homeless people humanely like paying for motels for this emergency (yep, we actually learned not a penny spent from the LARGEST one downtown), we're out here building community helping each other! We're operating on just the $5 to the $50 to the $100 donations we get because this situation is so dire we're begging you guys on social media!
But we know so many of you are just as frustrated as us and have been beaten down day by day by our capitalist distopian hellscape we call a society and the only true help we get in desperate times are from either the people we care about and trust or just the kindness of everyday strangers that we don't know personally but know how to treat humans like humans.

This winter storm coming up in Memphis encouraged us to reshare these stories as a post. It's expected to be one of the WORST storms we've EVER gotten! To many people that statement might feel like an exaggeration because you've heard things like this but the actual storm turns out to hardly inconvenience you...ya wanna know why? Because in Memphis, winter preparation and weatherized infrastructure is disproportionately funded here; lower/middle-class Black and Brown neighborhoods and marginalized communities are the first to lose power and utilities first but the last to get it back.....for those of you rushing to the grocery store to stock up on necessities, you're experience being stuck inside is often no different than a day off with minor inconveniences...
Then what's it like for those that can't afford to buy in bulk? What's it like without power and water for so long? What's it like living outside?
For the Housed:
- having to choose which of your kids gets to be warm and which will freeze bc of limited resources.
- waking up to bugs in your home bc they need the warmer environment.
- your kids packed into one room like sardines because the heater only works in there.
- rationing canned goods you have to eat straight out the can.
- skin problems, itchiness and worsening infections bc you can't shower or wash clothes.
- getting frostbite bc your winter coats & shoes are too worn out
- constant suffocating anxiety about the future heating bill, wondering if you can shut anything else off without risking hypothermia.
--> then getting the MLGW bill & seeing they raised their prices during that storm & immediately start planning to prevent eviction.
For the Unhoused:
- Waking up soaked from ice & water that flooded your abandoned building.
- Constantly wet from having 1 pair of shoes/clothes
- Counting the seconds until daylight hoping you survive the night.
- having frostbite but wondering if losing a finger is better than risk being horrifically dehumanized by the healthcare system.
This list could be 500x longer - continue the list by sharing your experience and as we all are forced into isolation, remember that you aren't alone & we love you!

The Memphis Community showed up! Many of you contributed what you could and we couldn't possibly tag you all but we thank you profusely! You aren't just providing tangible items our unhoused community needs, you're reminding them that they are loved and cared for. Unlike charities and those apart of the non-profit industrial complex, our resources and services are provided through mutual aid.
During our outreach and events we constantly are telling people how we provide these resources, and many times we have to tell them this in the context of why we don't have all the resources they need all the time; because we didn't get any funds to purchase these, and we didn't have anyone donate those items yet. Our unhoused comrades know that our resources and supplies come from the community, NOT charity!
We run completely on donations, and we're run by people with lived experience. These past couple weeks though many of you stepped up and so did other local groups, businesses and organizations, including and !
We are out of funds though, and since we're also run by mostly people below the poverty line as well we do need some $ to distribute these items. So for those that can contribute gas $ and funds for giving our unhoused folks temporary shelter please consider making a holiday donation during this time of giving! Links are in our bio and below:

We are working on more drop off locations and need more capacity, but right now we have donations of Thanksgiving leftovers we've distributed, but limited capacity means when we are out distributing harm reduction supplies, donations and food, nobody is available to take the leftovers! So if you have Thanksgiving leftovers we DEFINITELY still need them and all other donations, especially with the harsh weather! But please drop off donations and food to the CYCA center (during open hours) if you can't reach us when we're busy! Or please wait until we have a team member at the address we have sent via DM so that they can be there to take the donation!
We plan to be back at donation drop off address around 4pm today! Until then we're out doing drop offs and our regular outreach & picnic with today!!!

Happy Thanksgiving! While we hope everyone is enjoying their Holiday with their families and friends, we wanted to take a moment to ask, for those who are able, to consider donating to your unhoused community members and friends, to your marginalized and most at-risk community members and friends. Many of them won't be celebrating or eating with the ones they love. That's why overdoses and su!cides are higher around the holiday season (everywhere, not just Memphis).
To top it off, we're facing a very harsh cold front where our unhoused community members risk freezing, losing limbs, and dying. It happens every year and only a small percentage are actually counted (when you hear the news say 2 or 3 homeless people froze to death it's usually ~3-5x that count due to missing documentation or due to labeling their deaths as an OD simply because they tested positive for a substance).
There are always many large corporations and non-profits that ask for funds at this time, but many don't actually go to the people who need it. It's usually a tax write-off. But we are not a part of the non-profit industrial complex. We're a grassroots group run by and for the very people who know exactly what it's like. EVERY donation, no matter what type, goes directly to our comrades in survival mode who truly need it.
If you are able we want to ask for folks who would be able to donate funds so we can provide these neighbors and friends in Memphis with the ability to spend the holidays with our team and comrades. We want to make sure they can stay warm during this cold front with below freezing temperatures! We want to make sure they will not just survive but celebrate the holidays as well.
All links (the Amazon wishlist of things our folks need, and the donation options) can be found in our LinkTree in our bio!
For venmo, please DM us!

We have been quiet on these social media platforms as of late because most of our 901 Harm Reduction team members that run the socials were at the 2025 Drug Policy Reform Conference held by the (DPA). The rest of our team has been out there still doing the work, and we have still been collecting donations! Please donate winter clothing, both made meals & non-perishables, and funds if you can still!

Bodily autonomy doesn’t end at reproductive rights. It includes the right to use drugs, access care without coercion, and live free from punishment or surveillance.
Abolition means ending all systems that criminalize our bodies—policing, prisons, and the drug war included.

🚨 The “Memphis Safe Task Force” — a joint operation between local police, the National Guard, and multiple federal agencies — began operations on Sept. 29.

Governor Bill Lee claims they’ve “rounded up 850 violent criminals,” but that’s not true. Most arrests have not been for violent crimes — and ICE arrests have mostly targeted immigrants with administrative, not criminal, warrants.

This is not about safety — it’s about criminalization, fear, and control. Real safety comes from community care, housing, and harm reduction — not militarized policing. ✊🏽

Since the National Guard began their patrols in Memphis last Friday, there has been increased concern for our most marginalized community members - especially those who are immigrants, disabled, neurodivergent, or homeless - as they are most likely to be targeted. is working on the frontlines to ensure we keep our community safe.

Organizers from the DC veterans encampment came out to Memphis to protect our unhoused veterans from the National Guard and set up a Memphis veterans encampment!
The majority of our unhoused community members that 901 Harm Reduction provides HR supplies and resources to are veterans. The distopian irony! Many of these unhoused veterans are at-risk for not just being homeless, but also being LGBTQ+, Trans, Black, hispanic, immigrants, disabled, and/or drug users. Many use drugs to manage their own disabilities, chronic pain (mental and physical), and the trauma that comes from being a part of the military.... whether that trauma comes from the propaganda, dehumanization, and rampant seggsual assault and violence...or actual trauma from combat.
It's one thing to deploy the National Guard on your own people....but to target unhoused veterans??? Don't let feelings of hopelessness stop you from fighting for your own people. If you are a veteran in Memphis, YOU can join in the fight to protect your unhoused comrades! The Memphis Veterans Encampment needs local veterans to be on site 24/7! So take a shift at the capacity you can!

"Sending in The National Guard doesn't 'combat crime'— it increases it. Making this city unaffordable to live in, starving us of the resources we need, then making tents, encampments, and just trying to survive illegal is ridiculous. It means we all HAVE TO commit crimes to survive! I've lost count of how many times the cops have stolen my ID and belongings. Sending the NG is sending us a message that they want us to die" - Our unhoused comrade and DUU leader Chris
