The Richmond Neighborhood Center will be closing operations today (Friday, September 18) and Monday, September 21 in solidarity to mourn, process, and engage in civic action to demand justice for Breonna Taylor, Aja Raquell Rhone-Spears, Elijah McClain, Jacob Blake, and the ever growing list of Black people whose lives were cut short by anti-Black racism. We stand firmly with our Black colleagues, staff, students, families, volunteers and community partners and support the Bl...ack community at large as they mourn these most recent attacks on their personhood. We understand that this is disruptive to our community and we do not take this action lightly. We invite you to join us in our efforts to secure justice for the aforementioned by taking action outlined in the link below, and getting active in local campaigns to defund the police and redistribute their resources to community support services.

Our fall supply drive is still going strong, and supplies purchased by our amazing supporters are already making a difference in our programs! See how you can help Richmond District students and families today.
