On a mild Sunday afternoon in April, Ron Tapscott stood next to a picnic table at Moeur Park in Tempe. He passed paper plates to volunteers, who then passed food to hungry people. The table was filled with offerings, from watermelon to donuts, and the line was long. Every Sunday for the past several years, many in Tempe\u2019s unhoused community have come here for a guaranteed bite to eat.<\/p>\n

As long as supplies last, of course.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re short on plates, everyone,\u201d Tapscott shouted every few minutes as volunteers distributed food to a crowd of around 40 people.<\/p>\n

They were getting short on food, too.<\/p>\n

These picnics are organized by New Deal Meal, which Tapscott started two years ago. A silver-whiskered man who dresses plainly and pauses before he speaks, Tapscott founded the organization to continue the work of AZ Hugs founder Austin Davis, who\u2019d incurred the city of Tempe\u2019s ire by holding similar weekend feedings in its parks. Tempe police prosecuted Davis for holding the events without a permit, making him a cause c\u00e9l\u00e8bre until the parties struck a plea agreement that barred Davis from continuing the events. So Tapscott and Dave Wells, a retired Arizona State University professor who cofounded New Deal Meal, stepped into the void.<\/p>\n

Tapscott has drawn the city\u2019s scrutiny as well \u2014 Tempe also ticketed him for a food distribution event before dismissing the charges. He\u2019s pretty practiced at doing just that. The 79-year-old has been organizing in Tempe for more than a decade, founding a number of organizations dedicated to agitating for change in the quirky suburb. Over the past few years, he\u2019s found himself at odds with the city government. The Tempe Tribune once labeled him the \u201ccity gadfly.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a mantle Tapscott wears proudly.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not going to watch people get bullied and pushed down, and I\u2019m not going to watch democracy be eroded by people in power,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Tapscott\u2019s relationship with Tempe\u2019s municipal leaders wasn\u2019t always this tense. It used to even be collegial.<\/p>\n

Years ago, he and other Tempe activists worked with the city council. Tapscott would gather activists and councilmembers to meet at his home and discuss how to work together to solve problems in Tempe. They\u2019d sit around Tapscott\u2019s living room and discuss the issues, recalled Katherine Kouvelas-Edick. She runs the Aris Foundation, which also serves meals to unhoused people.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe created an excellent collaboration amongst us \u2014 until there was none,\u201d she told Phoenix New Times.<\/p>\n

\n

A testy relationship<\/h2>\n

That spirit of cooperation splintered on the shoals of professional hockey. In 2022, Tapscott created Tempe 1st, an organization designed to oppose a $2 billion proposal to build a new hockey stadium and entertainment district near Tempe Town Lake in an effort to coax the NHL\u2019s Arizona Coyotes away from Glendale. Tapscott and other residents were concerned about what seemed to them like a sellout to wealthy developers, and Tempe 1st campaigned vigorously against a special election referendum to approve the development deal.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Much to the Tempe City Council\u2019s dismay, voters rejected the proposal in 2023. The Coyotes eventually moved to Utah.<\/p>\n

Tapscott\u2019s relationship with city leaders soured after that campaign. He said it was also a turning point in Tempe residents\u2019 relationship with the council \u2014 residents lost trust and the council stopped pretending to listen. \u201cPost that, everything has been adversarial, conflicted,\u201d Tapscott said. \u201cLobbying efforts have suffocated.\u201d<\/p>\n

That view was later reinforced when, in 2024, reporting by New Times revealed that the council had trashed Tapscott and other activists in an illegal closed-door meeting two years earlier. A consultant hired by the council called those who opposed the hockey arena project\u00a0 \u201cCAVE people,\u201d standing for \u201ccitizens against virtually everything.\u201d Tempe Mayor Corey Woods specifically namedropped Tapscott, dubbing him a \u201ccrazy uncle\u201d and \u201cself-appointed emperor\u201d of the CAVE people.<\/p>\n

Tempe disputes the characterization that the meetings were \u201csecret,\u201d though the Arizona Attorney General\u2019s Office ruled that some of what was discussed in the meetings \u201cwere not permissible topics.\u201d Tempe was also required to release a recording of the meetings \u2014 which is how the \u201cCAVE people\u201d comments came to light \u2014 and the city council underwent open records law training as a result.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to win back trust after that \u2014 though Tapscott hopes the recent city election, which saw two incumbent councilmembers lose their seats to reform-minded challengers, will change that.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur city has been captivated by the worst instincts and personalities,\u201d Tapscott said. \u201cThese seven sitting councilpeople are beyond reform.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tapscott was more amused than offended when he heard about the secret meetings. \u201cI\u2019ve always stood up to these kind of institutions that abuse people,\u201d he said. Though he never expected he\u2019d become such a thorn in Tempe\u2019s side.<\/p>\n

\n

A political bent<\/h2>\n

Tapscott grew up in a working-class family in Virginia and attended an inner-city high school. He graduated from Kent State University in 1969 \u2014 one year before the Ohio National Guard killed four student protestors on its campus. He\u2019d already left by the time of the shootings, but he witnessed the mass antiwar protests that led up to it. Tapscott went to college to become a psychologist, but this experience shifted his attention elsewhere.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI changed my mind and decided I had to be politically active,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

After graduating from college, Tapscott worked for a housing agency in Milwaukee and helped to organize a tenants\u2019 union and rent strike. He then spent 20 years working as a union organizer in factories. But then the deindustrialization period arrived and \u201ccompletely decimated the blue-collar working class in Milwaukee,\u201d he said. Jobs were moved overseas, factories were shut down and Tapscott was forced into unemployment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had little heat in our house,\u201d he recalled. \u201cWhen I went up to tuck my kids in, I could see my breath in the hallway. And it wasn\u2019t just tucking them in, it was zipping up their snowsuits so they could sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n

During this hardship, he experienced one of many times in his life when he saw people be kind just for the sake of it. He calls these \u201csolidarity stories.\u201d When he and other unemployed workers were protesting at the unemployment office, another man who received his unemployment check offered Tapscott groceries for his family. \u201cHe was going through the same thing like hundreds of us were,\u201d Tapscott said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 1987, Tapscott moved to Arizona to find a new career and be near his retired parents. He earned a master\u2019s degree in clinical social work and worked as a clinical director for the Phoenix Fire Department, setting up emergency response systems in the aftermaths of 9\/11 and Hurricane Katrina. He traveled to the sites of these disasters and helped the firefighters working there.<\/p>\n

This was Tapscott\u2019s final job before he retired in 2012. He wanted to spend his twilight years woodworking and improving the piano skills he\u2019d first honed when he joined an experimental jazz garage band as a teenager. He also wanted to stay socially active through community service, though that\u2019s turned out to be far more involved than Tapscott ever imagined.<\/p>\n

\n

\u2018This is on us\u2019<\/h2>\n

Lately, that\u2019s meant the weekly food events for Tempe\u2019s unhoused. Davis had spearheaded that effort for a few years, holding his mutual aid events in city parks without a problem. But in 2022, Tempe required him to obtain a permit to operate, citing city code. He applied for one but was rejected because he\u2019d continued to hold events. Rather than stop the feedings, which unhoused people relied upon, he continued to host them despite the city\u2019s refusal to permit them. In 2023, the city issued its first citation to Davis. He was arrested in 2024.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The \u201cpicnics\u201d could have ground to a halt after that, if not for Tapscott. He and Wells created New Deal Meal, which they styled as a private club to avoid the code\u2019s restrictions on \u201cpublic gatherings.\u201d It was a clever attempt at squeezing through a loophole in city code, though Tapscott was apparently doubtful about its prospects.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was very pessimistic from his past experience with the city,\u201d Wells said. \u201cAnd turned out he was right.\u201d<\/p>\n

In January 2025, the city cited Tapscott for continuing to hold the park events. In May, though, the city prosecutor dropped the charge \u201cin the interest of justice.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

That may be the signal of a larger trend in Tempe government, which is feeling the heat from its residents. After the city council passed an even more restrictive parks ordinance \u2014 seemingly aimed squarely at mutual aid efforts led by Tapscott and Davis \u2014 Tapscott and others launched an effort to put a repeal measure for the ordinance on the ballot.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After petitioners turned in enough signatures to do just that, the council voted unanimously to repeal the divisive ordinance. Notably, any repeal measure would have appeared on the same ballot as several councilmembers running for reelection, possibly endangering their chances of retaining office. Even without the repeal measure driving turnout, sitting councilmembers didn\u2019t get off easy. Out of three incumbents facing reelection, two were defeated by upstart challengers in a late-May runoff.<\/p>\n

Tapscott hopes the new council is better than the old one. For the city\u2019s part, Tempe spokesperson Kris Baxter-Ging wrote to New Times in an email that \u201cthis April, the City of Tempe partnered with Tempe Neighbors Together, which the Tapscotts have been involved with, for its annual food and resource drive.\u201d Baxter-Ging also noted that Tempe \u201cworks with dozens of nonprofits and provides extensive funding for them,\u201d including \u201cadvocacy groups for homeless services as well as those who address the root causes of homelessness.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Perhaps that means more collaborative days are on the horizon for Tapscott and Tempe. But if they aren\u2019t, he\u2019s prepared to buzz just as loudly as he did before. He\u2019ll keep poking city leadership in the side until they make things work as intended. As far as he\u2019s concerned, no one else is going to do it.<\/p>\n
