Couriers, takeaways, ride-hailing companies and other groups often walk the streets and alleys, where the street lights are broken, where the garbage is not cleaned up, they can always find out at the first time. Over the past year, Jiangxia District has taken the opportunity of co-creation activities to gather these new employment groups and set up a Red Rider Volunteer Service Team, guiding them to shoot and report at any time, so that these mass forces galloping in the streets and alleys can become mobile "probes" for grassroots governance.
Liu Tao is a post-80s "courier brother" with a disabled right arm, who has delivered express delivery for 11 years with "zero negative reviews", which has achieved a good story in the express delivery industry. Over the years, he has set up an express station in the Dahualing community of Jiangxia District, and has won the trust of nearby residents with enthusiasm and momentum. In June 2022, the head of the community approached Liu Tao, hoping that he could form a volunteer service team, and the name had been decided, which was called "Red Rider".
At first, Liu Tao was also a little at a loss, can the feedback of the courier brother be taken seriously, and can these problems be solved in time? Soon, these doubts were answered. The district set up a WeChat group for them to volunteer with the Red Riders, and functional departments such as community, urban management, and water affairs were the first batch of people to join the group.
With the support of functional departments, Liu Tao suddenly had the confidence, and he started with his friends around him to organize more than ten couriers and takeaway delivery workers in the Daqiao area. Taking advantage of the work of walking the streets and alleys and entering the buildings and households, we assist the community to do a good job in daily work such as environmental inspections and problem feedback, participate in grassroots social governance, and constantly polish the bright business card of "Red Rider", which has attracted the attention of all walks of life to new employment and new business groups.
Since the establishment of the Red Rider Volunteer Service Team, it has reported more than 300 incidents closely related to the lives of the masses and in front of and behind the houses of residents, and reported countless clues to the local streets and communities such as damaged manhole covers, illegal parking, falling wires, and loss of admission notices, forming a working mechanism of "little brother blowing the whistle and reporting to the district street".
In order to let them have no worries, the District Education Bureau came forward to coordinate and do a good job in ensuring that the children of the little brother are enrolled in the nearest school. Nowadays, the little brothers in the team have taken the initiative to put the logo on the express car, showing the identity of the "Red Rider", more actively participating in grassroots governance, and the transmission of positive energy has subtly improved the recognition of the surrounding residents.
Today, this volunteer service team has continued to take root and gradually developed into a large team with more than 70 members, covering Daqiao, Zanglong Island, Paper Mill and other areas. The main position of the Jiangxia Red Riders Volunteer Service Team was also rated as the "Most Beautiful Trade Union Outdoor Worker Service Site in 2023" by the All-China Federation of Trade Unions.
