And when we say Rise Up, we don't just mean elections. These problems existed before 2016 and they'll go on beyond 2020 if we don't educate, increase awareness, and demand justice, constantly.
This is not about moments but movements that will change our lives for the better.
There will be a year when we don't wake up to another police shooting or assaults on civilians because we will replace them with systems of care and *invest* in communities instead of police.
In Richmond, that year could be 2021 if we do it together, if we Rise Up.
Team Rizzi is working to reach $2,500 to send out mailers in the 5th! I’m a monthly donor because I know Stephanie is more than qualified for the job, passionate about supporting students, parents, teachers, and staff and she puts in the work. Grassroots style. Can you join me?

Calling all Virginia state senators and delegates: Please take note, particularly those in the Democratic Party. While you’re in a special session about policing by day, police are terrorizing businesses and neighborhoods at night, while also refusing to identify.
Police still riot in Richmond. Our mayor didn’t move when they gassed people in broad daylight when they violently broke up a movie screening when they tackled identified reporters and snatched people for standing on the sidewalks. No masks. No humanity. He won’t move now either.
#1 @LevarStoney Why aren’t @RichmondPolice wearing masks?! Let’s dissect that before anything else. @NBC12@CBS6@8NEWS #2 Is Richmond a new Sundown County where cops are free to harass people after sunset? @GovernorVA This is happening every night. The citizens are tired.

"The denial of white supremacy is violence. We must acknowledge the roots that the U.S has been founded on + continues to perpetuate in order to fight for our liberation."

Taking care of my dad after a medical emergency which I’m incredibly grateful to be able to do. But he just yelled at me hey waitress with request for more m&ms and he might be cut off the candy for the day.
There is a lot of work to be done. While most of that work right now is on the streets, a part of that work, for me, is through my campaign for City Council.
We need 70 people for a monthly donation of $30 until Nov. 3.
Help us raise the funds to Rise.
