Rahul Dubey, an Indian-American who had opened the doors of his Washington DC home to over 70 people protesting against the killing of George Floyd, has featured in Time magazine’s “Heroes of 2020” list.
Honoring those who “went above and beyond the call of duty” this year, Time magazine’s Heroes of 2020 list also named Australia’s volunteer firefighters who risked everything to keep their country safe, food-stall owners Jason Chua and Hung Zhen Long in Singapore who wouldn’t let anyone go hungry during the Covid-19 pandemic, Pastor Reshorna Fitzpatrick and her husband Bishop Derrick Fitzpatrick of Chicago, who transformed their church to support their community during the trying year.
Greg Daile, a newspaper deliveryman who began a grocery drop-off service in mid-March to anyone in need along his paper route, was also named by the magazine.Daily has since supplied more than 140 homes and conducted over 1,000 grocery runs in New Jersey’s Mercer county.
“From citizens providing food and shelter to those in need to volunteers who protected their neighbors from natural disasters, these heroes went above and beyond the call of duty in 2020,” Time said.
