A large, diverse crowd of Richmond residents of all ages marching with signs reading "End Climate Chaos," "Protect Our Air, Health & Climate," and "Beyond Chevron."

Not just surviving.
Thriving.

Richmond is at a crossroads. The economy that has shaped our city for over a century is changing, and what comes next hasn't been decided yet — legacy residents owning the land and businesses they built, clean air for our kids, good jobs, elders aging in peace. Or more of the same. We know which future we want, and Richmond has always known how to fight for it.

Welcome

A community full of visionaries

Richmond is home to those who are resilient. Right now we have a real chance to shape what comes next, and we know our community's voice can lead the way. This is a community full of brilliant, visionary residents with deep love for our Rich City, and powerful visions for the future we want for our children, our elders, and generations still to come.

Our Future Economy came together to listen to residents' dreams and needs, gather the plans and lessons already in progress across Richmond, and channel that knowledge into action. We're blessed to have so many organizations engaging residents in the work of dreaming, envisioning, and fighting for a better Richmond — through this project, you can connect with them and become part of that effort.

This site belongs to every Richmond resident. Learn the history of how we got here. See what your neighbors are already building. Add your voice to what comes next — because the people who should shape Richmond's future are the people who live here.
