RISC Nehemiah Action Assembly
Event Information
Description
Doors 6:15pm - Childcare for ages 18 months-10 years 6:30pm - Music & Fellowship 6:30pm
Join 1,200 justice-seekers from dozens of congregations as we 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.
The Nehemiah Action Assembly is the culminating event of the entire year for RISC congregations AND the largest interfaith public gathering in Central VA!
At this year’s Nehemiah Action we will stand together for:
- Significant, root-level changes to stop Richmond's eviction crisis
- Proven reading curriculum in Richmond and Henrico schools
- Trauma-informed care training in Chesterfield schools
Through the power of organized people and the strong voice we have as one assembly, we make our community a better place for everyone to live!
