TO HELP DISTRIBUTE

The Richmond Defender is an all-volunteer newspaper. No one gets paid. We publish because we believe in what the paper stands for. Not another newspaper in Richmond can make that claim.

 

But that also means that we need your help -- to distribute the newspaper, to encourage businesses and nonprofits to advertise and to give us your valuable feedback.

Call (804) 644-5834 to learn how you can DISTRIBUTE The Richmond Defender in your neighborhood and help us keep in touch with the issues that concern the residents of Richmond.
