In support of a transition away from fossil fuels in the City of Richmond, the Richmond Progressive Alliance (the RPA) began a community-engagement process called The Listening Project. The goal of the Listening Project is to better understand the concerns and needs of Richmond communities that have historically suffered the greatest harm from generations of fossil fuel operations in our City. To do this, we surveyed and listened to our community about the climate crisis. We created the Listening Project Podcast to share our stories to amplify our voices. It is important that we continue to hear our community, center our needs, and build people power!
