About this Event
Not For Us, Without Us Series #2
Raise your voice to help choose Just Transition Projects for North Richmond
We’re inviting North Richmond residents to take part in Not For Us, Without Us!, a series of community meetings designed to ensure that decisions about North Richmond are shaped by the people who live here.
*Up to $150 Stipends are available for North Richmond residents (Read more below..)
These meetings are a space for neighbors to come together, share lived experiences, and help identify the projects that matter most to our community. The focus is on addressing long-standing health, environmental, and economic inequities. Through small-group conversations and Q&A sessions, participants will help build a prioritized list of Just Transition projects focused on cleaner air, better transportation, and local jobs and economic opportunity.
Why These Meetings Can’t Wait
Big decisions about climate and economic investments in Richmond are happening now. If we are not in the room, those decisions will be made without us.
Over the next two years, hundreds of millions of dollars are expected to come into Richmond for projects tied to clean air, transportation, jobs, and community health. But that funding does not go automatically to the communities that need it most. It goes to projects that are clearly defined, community-backed, and ready to move forward.
These meetings are how North Richmond residents shape what those projects look like. This is where we decide what gets built in our neighborhoods, how money is spent, and who truly benefits.
Not For Us, Without Us is about moving beyond being asked for input after decisions are made. It is about community members leading from the beginning and claiming a real role in Richmond’s just transition.
