The Eco-Socialist Working Group of the Richmond chapter of DSA was organized for the purpose of empowering those concerned about our quickly-warming climate and the deteriorating state of the environment.
We advocate for climate and environmental justice in and around Richmond, through a variety of means including supporting candidates for office who pledge support for a Green New Deal, protests and marches, participating in “work days” with local environmental groups (i.e. invasive plant removal, trash pick up, community garden work, etc.), plus direct action to influence Richmond City Council to better support the city’s transition to renewable energy and increasing green space.
The working group meets the second Friday of every month at 7pm at Goatocado on W. Main Street in Richmond.
