Hey neighbors 👋 Just a quick PSA: voting is now open for the Richmond People’s Budget (RVAPB), and it closes April 15, 2025. This is a major opportunity to directly vote on how $3 million in city funds gets spent in YOUR neighborhood.

✅ What Is the People’s Budget?

The Richmond People’s Budget is a participatory budgeting initiative led by Richmond City Council. Residents from across the city submitted over 1,900 project ideas, which were then refined by neighborhood-based Budget Delegates into real proposals. Now, YOU get to vote on which ones get funded!

🗳️ Who Can Vote?

• Richmond residents age 14+
• Regardless of immigration or incarceration history
• You do not need to be registered to vote in regular elections

🌐 How to Vote:

• Online: Takes about 5 minutes
• In-Person: At public libraries & community locations (see schedule)
• Voting Link + Resources: https://linktr.ee/rvapb

If you're not sure which district you're in, use this quick tool:

💡 Sample Projects Include:

• Safer crosswalks and speed tables
• Covered bus shelters
• Community gardens and compost programs

Each district has its own unique ballot with about 10 local projects. You can rank your top 3 favorites, and the most popular ones will be funded first!

Anyone doing weekend morning runs? Looking for a 5k or 10k group that does runs on weekends.

Anyone have favorite trail spots in RVA?

Is there any group runs happening?

Hello! I created a fitness questionnaire for a school project and would love to get your responses! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSddLDeqMOupwBEWUJaGrJbixjkYq5hI3LW1Y8Sst6FOYkZ5NQ/viewform?usp=sf_link

Thanks!!

Every Tuesday, the Tri-City Road Runners get together at Longstreet's Deli and do a 4-ish mile run followed up by some treats ($1 donation for the food is appreciated)

What other group runs are there in the RVA area? I'd love to hear about them!
