The Richmond People's Assembly began with an inaguaral meeting in Janurary of 2025.
Our Principles
We are active participants in liberation
movements. We are committed to a free world. We work together to support all freedoms; freedom from racial discrimination, freedom from misogyny and from oppression of any gender or orientation, freedom from economic suffering and exploitation, freedom from unjust wars, and freedom from the politics of division in all forms.
We are building a free society for all people and for our natural world. We are building with and caring for our communities beyond present reliance on state systems. We do not collaborate with any local, state or federal enforcement systems that threaten our community. We prioritize restorative approaches that seek to heal us and the world we all inhabit.
We are growing our collective power. We believe in the importance of collective strategy building, beyond our own groups, cliques, and milieus. We recognize the intersectionality of our struggles and we fight together and for each other, rather than in isolation.
We believe that the struggle for liberation will require a diversity of tactics. We do not publicly disavow the tactical choices of any organization, group, caucus, or individual towards this end. Rather, we look for ways to augment each other’s work.
The strength of our interpersonal relationships defines our successes. We take care of one another, we check in on one another, and we support our community through the hardships of our personal and political lives. We celebrate each other and encourage each other to grow.
We are building a shared vision of our city and our
futures, all of us, together.
