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.

the issues that concern the residents of Richmond.
