ISSUES AND ACTIONS
Public Housing - RRHA's plan to demolish Gilpin Court in order to bundle a packet of "mixed income" development in order to provide housing
for scores of high paid Virginia Biotech and VCU employees smacks of good old fashioned palm-greasing!
Sacred Ground Historical Reclamation Project (SGHRP) - Re-establishing the link between history, today and future planning through education, actions and media-work.
Reclaiming the "Burial Ground for Negroes" and commemorating the efforts and vision of Virginia men and women like Gabriel,
his wife Nan, Mary Bowser, Elizabeth Van Lews, Nat Turner, and many, many others.
Peoples Peace Delegation to Iran (PPDI) - Sponsored by VAWN and The Richmond Defender newspaper, supported by Campaign Against Sanctions and Millitary Involvment
in Iran (CASMII), a group of US anti-war activists spends ten days visiting five cities in the Islamic Republic of Iran in July 2007.
Rights of Prisoners and the Formerly Incarcerated - We work with organizations like RIHD (Resource Information Help for the Disadvantaged) and PAFERJ (Prisoners and Families
for Equality and Justice), organizing court watch projects, reporting on cases of police abuse and miscarriages of process
in our judicial system and celebrate the victories achieved for the disadvantaged in our community.
Immigrant Rights - One of the most important domestic issues at the moment for the country is that of how the immigration rights struggle
is playing out and will play out in our communities.
Women's Rights - Women's issues involve reproductive rights and sexual and gender autonomy, but they also involve issues of daily life like
housing, crime, poverty, healthcare, micro- and macro-environmentalism, education, racism and sexism.
