The culminating event of the entire year for RISC congregations! AND the largest interfaith public gathering in Central VA!
Over 1,200 justice-seekers from dozens of congregations transcend racial, socioeconomic, and religious differences to take action for justice. We hear the stories of those affected by community problems and secure specific commitments from our local decision-makers to address the root causes of injustice.
This year, we’re addressing elementary reading in Richmond and Henrico County, childhood trauma in Chesterfield County, and job training in our region. People power makes change possible!
