FROM THE GROUND UP

Before the headlines and elected office, Britney Thornton was already in motion—knocking doors, hosting community meetings, and bringing neighbors together to solve real problems. Her journey as a community organizer began with a simple belief: the people closest to the pain must be closest to the power.

 

Through JUICE Orange Mound, she built a movement rooted in presence, trust, and bold imagination. Britney’s organizing isn’t about temporary fixes—it’s about transforming communities from the inside out and showing what’s possible when residents are equipped and empowered to lead.
