Events & Resources
RVA Engage seeks to inform and catalyze community members to engage in the issues they care most about. Our Civic Action Conversations series focused on critical regional priorities and possible action steps for every Richmonder.
What is RVA Engage?
RVA Engage is an intentional movement of community action, a collective civic voice, and regional commitment to strategic civic engagement based on a set of Guiding Principles.
The Guiding Principles
Civic engagement means working together to make a difference in the civic life of one’s community and developing the combination of knowledge, skills, values, and motivation to make that difference.
““Even in the most rigged situations, even in the most zero-sum-seeming, fixed, unequal context, it is entirely possible to generate brand new power out of thin air through the magic act of organizing. Organizing generates power where it did not previously exist.”
- Eric Liu, CEO Citizen University”
