The fate of a community fridge program is in jeopardy due to a 64-year-old law and city zoning codes.
“The City of Fort Worth is looking to place restrictions on us that would make the fridge [essentially] inaccessible to the folks who need it,” said the Funkytown Fridge team in a recent Instagram post.
The 1956 law is intended to protect children from becoming locked inside refrigerators, and city codes limit where the large storage boxes can be placed.
Richardson: “The whole point is to break down capitalism and give people their power back by letting them know there is a way to find your power to spark a revolution.”
