Chris is a local social justice advocate and musician. She experienced homelessness during the pandemic and was then housed in a state-run motel in Holyoke where many people experienced isolation and trauma. During this period she spent most of her time in downtown Northampton taking action in the ways that she could. She makes a point of sharing food wherever she goes and letting people know that food, water, and the right to vote are all human rights. She sees food as a unifying force that brings people together.
