This June, with 49 other parents from our local school, we will ride c. 530km from Lands' End to London to raise money for the local primary school and the Holly Lodge Centre, an educational charity that works with local school and children with special education needs and disabilities.

We'll share pictures with some #Fediverse exclusives when we are on the way.

Every £ counts. Please gift aid if you are a UK tax payer & Boost

Hello, everyone! Allow us to introduce ourselves. We are Climate Changemakers RVA, and we advocate for climate solutions in Richmond, Virginia.

If you're feeling tense about ... everything, or you want to get involved in action that tackles the climate crisis but don't know how to get started, then we're the group for you!

We believe that taking action gives rise to more action. We make this easy by not requiring any previous experience or preparation. Just show up and we'll have productive things for you to do!

We meet for one hour twice per month. Come hang out, grab a beer 🍻 or a pretzel 🥨, and let our elected leaders know that we want them to act on climate!

Today in Labor History April 2, 1863: Bread riots occurred in Richmond, Virginia, as a result of a drought the previous year, combined with a blockade by the Union Army and overall Civil War-related shortages. Food riots occurred throughout the South around this time, led primarily by women. During the Richmond riot, women broke into storehouses and shops, stealing food, clothing and jewelry before the militia was able to restore order.
