​In Richmond, a Just Transition looks like
food grown and shared by neighbors. Land and energy in community hands. Worker-owned cooperatives. Real democratic say over what happens here and safety built on belonging, not punishment.​
​
Transition is the work of moving toward an economy based in care and away from the extraction that's exploited this city's land, labor, and quality of life for generations.
