The Eco-Socialist Working Group of the Richmond chapter of DSA was organized for the purpose of empowering those concerned about our quickly-warming climate and the deteriorating state of the environment.
We advocate for climate and environmental justice in and around Richmond, through a variety of means including supporting candidates for office who pledge support for a Green New Deal, protests and marches, participating in “work days” with local environmental groups (i.e. invasive plant removal, trash pick up, community garden work, etc.), plus direct action to influence Richmond City Council to better support the city’s transition to renewable energy and increasing green space.
The working group meets the first Wednesday of each month at 6pm. Some meetings will be virtual and others will be rotating through different area libraries. Those interested should monitor our social media for exact meeting locations (@rva-ecosocialism on BlueSky, and rva_ecosocialists on Instagram).
