Demanding environmental justice for our Richmond residents and shoreline.

The history of Richmond's shoreline is marked by environmental inequities, industrial greed and stolen lands.

We aim to end this cycle and restore health and equity for all.

It’s Time to Act

Richmond's shoreline is our greatest natural asset. However, a century of heavy industry has despoiled much of it. This legacy remains a wound on the land, the people and the wildlife who live nearby. But enough is enough. We’re standing up and fighting back. Come join us.
