The Richmond Racial Equity group hosts and curates the following resources for our community free of charge. If you find these materials useful, please support our mission by donating to a Vermont organization for racial justice. This month we recommend BIPOC Urban Farm and Wholeness Center in Winooski. The plans for this center include: a botánica, a workshop space for BIPOC-centered classes and appointments, an urban farm, and more.
