**EMBARGOED UNTIL DELIVERY** Mayor Levar M. Stoney 2020 State of the City – Richmond CAN January 28, 2020 REMARKS AS PREPARED FOR DELIVERY Good evening! Welcome! It is so wonderful to be here with all of you tonight! First, Mely that was an awesome introduction! Mely attends Community High School and is part of our Mayor's Youth Academy. When Mely worked in my office last year, she was a rock star and her public service was greatly appreciated by me and my team. Thank you again for your kind words, Mely. And I'd like to offer a special thanks to Dr. Gould-Champ of Faith Community Baptist Church for our invocation. I would be remiss if I also did not thank our friends at the Virginia Museum of History and Culture, Trustee Victor Branch for his welcome and Jamie Bosket, the President and CEO of the VMHC, for being a most gracious host yet again. And how about that Pledge of Allegiance by the YMCA Afterschool Program for kids at Woodville Elementary School! And to the rest of you here in the Robins Family Forum… Council President Dr. Cynthia Newbille and the honorable members of Richmond City Council. Members of the Richmond School Board, Chairwoman Linda Owen and Superintendent Jason Kamras…

City employees, city residents here this evening, and to those watching at home, thank you for spending some time with us tonight. It is hard for me to believe that this is my third State of the City Address as your mayor. I am just as excited as I was three years ago, and frankly, truly amazed and humbled to be here. As you may know, I am a product of kids having kids. Like many of our children in this city, I know what it feels like to grow up on free and reduced lunch. I know what it feels like to not be able to afford field trips, or even the book fees to be able to take textbooks home from school so I could study. I know what it feels like to not have a mom around. I know what it feels like to watch my father struggle to find work as a returning citizen, and work his heart out day in and day out in order to put food on the table and a roof over our heads. I know that there are kids and families in Richmond, who, just like me, have experienced the same hardships. Each of us has a story of personal struggle that we have turned into strengths and opportunities. Through the encouragement, perseverance and values instilled in me by my father, grandmother and other loved ones, I emerged through the challenges to be able to stand here today to talk to you as mayor of one of the greatest cities in the nation. That's why I believe that when we achieve a position of power or authority, it's crucial that we use our ability and our opportunities to thoughtfully advocate on behalf of those who may not be able to do so for themselves. To give a voice to the voiceless.

Remember that being a leader is not about the title before your name. Titles are fleeting. A compassionate government must be in the business of lifting people up and not writing people off. I was fortunate to find a community that cared for and empowered me when I was a kid– and that memory, that experience, is what guides me as your mayor. I want everyone to feel that sense of community and support here in Richmond. This is how we build One Richmond. Each and every day, we are taking steps toward becoming the city we want to be. Recently we were named:

• One of the 10 coolest U.S. cities to visit

• One of the “hippest cities in the U.S."

• One of the "Top 20 Cities to start a Business" And in May, Richmond will welcome some of the greatest young musicians in the world when we become only the second American city in 37 years to host the International Menuhin Violin competition. Just this year we were listed by the New York Times as Number 39 in its Top 52 places to visit… IN… THE…WORLD. Ladies and Gentlemen, while these accolades are nice to add to our trophy case, we still have even more reasons to be proud thanks to the incredible things we are doing collectively here in the great City of Richmond.

* First, with City Hall… It's pretty amazing that just three years ago, some questioned whether the City could meet its commitment to providing basic services – the blocking and tackling, if you will, of city governance. Because no matter how great our city becomes, no matter how many lists we make, we all know it's the little things that still matter. Picking up the trash, collecting the bulk and brush, filling the potholes, cutting the grass and plowing the snow. That's how you become not just a Top 10 place to visit, but a Top 10 place to live. And that's why we've invested in the equipment and the manpower to do things right -- and in a timely fashion. Thanks to a $16.2 million investment last year, we have paved a record 188 lane miles in the past 10 months and filled 34,000 potholes in 2019. Since 2017, we have filled 84,000 potholes and paved more than 355 lane miles, repaired 4,700 alleys and 30 miles of new sidewalks. I'd like to thank Bobby Vincent and his hard-working team at the Department of Public Works for making it all happen. A few years ago, some questioned whether we could handle basic financial tasks. Our financial reports were late and we lagged in our percentages of tax collection. Now, for three years in a row, we have consistently completed every Comprehensive Annual Financial Report not only on time, but EARLY. Our tax collection rate is now at 97 percent, the highest it's been in more than 25 years.

Last year, through the issuance of new debt and refunding of existing debt, we were able to avoid over $40 million in additional interest payments over the next 20 years. Our Finance and Budget Team, under the leadership of acting CAO Lenora Reid, Finance Director John Wack and Budget Director Dr. Jay Brown have led the way. Thank you for your work. Last year, we also felt compelled to lead on issues that transcend roads and finances, but strike at the very heart of our quality of life. While overall crime in our city actually dropped three percent last year, 60 people lost their lives – nearly all of them from guns. The hardest day of my term as your Mayor was the day I got the call from Chief Smith telling me that a nine-year-old girl named Markiya Dickson was shot and killed while playing in Carter Jones Park. Ladies and gentlemen, parks should be free from violence and guns. One lost life is one too many. And one lost child is not just a crime against her family, it is a crime against our city. The bottom line is we MUST do better. We owe it to Markiya and we owe it to her family. That is why I introduced, and City Council approved, an ordinance that would require lost or stolen firearms to be reported to the Richmond Police Department within 24 hours. And that is why we passed an ordinance that will ban all guns in city parks and buildings. And we will be the first city to do so, once our friends in the Virginia General Assembly pass common sense gun safety reforms this year. Tonight, I would like to thank the members of City Council for working with the administration to approve these common sense measures to enable us to better keep our communities safe.

Tonight, I also want to take a moment to thank Chief Smith and the men and women of the Richmond Police Department, as well as our federal and regional law enforcement partners -- from the FBI to the Virginia State Police, Capitol Police and surrounding counties -- for their planning and professionalism last week. Thousands of gun-toting demonstrators descended on the streets of our capitol in an attempt to intimidate our lawmakers. And Chief Smith and our partners kept our city safe that day without incident. In 2017, we began this administration with years of underinvestment due to the Great Recession. But in three years, we have managed to pay step increases to our police officers and fire fighters AND provided teachers with raises. We have taken steps to address salary compression in the city workforce and last year provided a three percent raise to city employees for the first time in 15 years. And with the surplus in last year's budget, we worked together to fund a cost of living increase for the first time in 11 years for retirees who committed themselves in a career of public service to our city. Additionally, I am also very proud of implementing one of the most progressive family leave plans in Virginia, providing eight weeks of paid parental leave to new parents including those who have adopted or are fostering a child. How we treat one another, how we support one another, says something about our values as a city. And I want Richmond to be the model for inclusivity, not exclusivity. For years, some questioned whether the former Capital of the Confederacy could be an inclusive place. And over the last few years, we've proven Richmond can.

Last year we took a huge step towards telling the complete story of Richmond, by honoring a great American and Richmond native, Arthur Ashe, and naming the street just outside these doors after him. And we brought a little diversity to the neighborhood, with the unveiling of Kehinde Wiley's “Rumors of War”. This is a monument that speaks volumes about where this city is today, and where it is going. We also replaced the traditional Columbus Day with the city's first Indigenous People's Day, a tradition that will continue in 2020. But our city has expanded and grown in more than symbolic ways. In 2017, our Municipal Equality Index – a measure of how welcoming and inclusive our city is to members of the Rainbow community, was a 42 out of 100 – not something to be proud of. Last year, it was a 97 – the highest in the commonwealth– and we were recognized by the Human Rights Campaign in their report as a success story, not once, but TWICE, for our equality efforts. Last year, I also introduced, and City Council approved, a resolution calling for the ban of the harmful practice of conversion therapy in the City of Richmond and across the Commonwealth of Virginia. I don't think anyone who was at Council that night in November, or watching at home, did not come away moved by the power and emotion of Adam Trimmer's story. Adam is here tonight, and I want to recognize and thank him for the courage it took to share his experience with us and his advocacy in Richmond and the General Assembly. I believe what we choose to protect says something about who we are. And as I have said many times before, our children are our most valuable asset.

When I first came into office, it blew me away when I learned that roughly a quarter of our kids had trouble seeing the blackboard in school. Or that only a small percentage of kids had access to a quality after-school program. Today, however, those children who could not see have free eyeglasses. Kids at every elementary and middle school in our city will now have access to a quality after school program. Every high school student has access to free rides on GRTC. Thanks to a historic $19 million investment in school maintenance last year, schools are getting outfitted with the new boilers, buses, rooves and athletic fields they need. And this fall, more than 3,000 students will walk into THREE BRAND NEW SCHOOLS to replace the over 100-year-old George Mason, the overcrowded Green Elementary on the Southside and the long overdue Elkhardt-Thompson Middle school. These investments tell our kids that they matter and that they are loved. And speaking of love, I want to show some love to a group of young men who showed what they can do when we give them the tools to do it. Last year, the Thomas Jefferson High School football team made it all the way to the state championship game. And they did it on a new field. One that activities director Bill Holt said had not been re-sodded since it was first put in. Back when Herbert Hoover was president. I'd like to recognize them tonight in the audience and congratulate all the players and the coaches for making our city proud. * Ladies and gentlemen, this is just some of what we've accomplished together.

The State of our City is stronger and more competitive than it's been in years. Together, we are making it happen. We are making Richmond a can-do city… A city capable of investing in schools, streets, transit, affordable housing, education and economic empowerment, all at the same time. Of course, we still have work to do. But ladies and gentlemen, the important thing is that when we encounter a bump in the road, we don't let it knock us off our course. We focus on the fix. And we commit ourselves to going about the work of problem solving, not problem seeking. Construction investment in the city has doubled in the past 3 years to approximately $1 billion in 2019.

And while that is a good thing for our growth, the result has been that some have had difficulty in obtaining plan reviews, building permits, and inspections. That is why, next month, the city's Bureau of Permits and Inspections will initiate a Third-Party Plan Review and Inspections Program that will give developers and property owners the ability to contract directly with qualified, third-party inspection agencies to perform building plan reviews and building inspections in a timely manner. Problem solving is exactly what we did when it came to the eviction crisis in our city. Last year, we convened our stakeholders and brought housing advocates from Housing Opportunities Made Equal, landlords, tenants, the

Richmond Bar Foundation and our courts system, and funded the first of its kind in the commonwealth Eviction Diversion Program. At last count, the program has prevented 76 evictions since October. And the program is on target to meet its goals of preventing 300 to 500 families from being put out on the street this fiscal year. But it's not enough to just prevent an eviction once it has been filed. That's why we also recently created the Eviction Task Force, convening experts to discuss root causes of, and solutions to, Richmond's housing challenges, BEFORE they get to the point of an eviction. Members of the task force are here tonight, along with some of the key stakeholders in our Eviction Diversion Program. I'd like to ask them to stand and be recognized. ** Ladies and gentlemen, earlier tonight I talked about the “why” behind my administration's work. I also discussed many of our 2019 initiatives and the impact they are having on Richmonders. Now, I'd like to focus on several new initiatives we plan to implement in 2020. When I think of building the foundation of One Richmond, I think of four central pillars: 1. Housing and neighborhoods 2. Public transportation 3. Youth and education 4. Economic empowerment These are the systems that we must transform to continue to lift up our residents.

We can't focus on one and ignore the others. We must work on all pillars at the same time -- and Richmond can. That is why my team has been working diligently over the last year to address the needs of our city and residents – and building our capacity across departments and with community partners to ensure that we tackle our challenges collaboratively, and not in silos. First, with housing and neighborhoods… Two weeks ago, the Partnership for Housing Affordability released its analysis on the housing crisis in the Richmond region. And last week I received another report on housing affordability in our city that was also sobering to say the least. Increases in median rents are outpacing increases in median income almost 2-1, and the steep, 56 percent rise in home prices in our city over the last 10 years is making it harder and harder for black and brown people to become homeowners. Roughly 45 percent of our households are what is known as “cost-burdened” – that is, households where 30 percent or more of income goes to pay for housing. No family in our city should be forced to make the decision between paying the rent or the mortgage and putting food on the table. According to the Partnership for Housing Affordability, the city will need to find homes for 280 new low-income households every year for the next 20 years – we must take steps now to address these needs. That is why in the coming weeks, the city will unveil its Affordable and Equitable Housing Strategy. We are taking a holistic approach to address our housing challenges, working with various housing and community stakeholders, because we know that housing is foundational – it is a vaccine for poverty – and we must work collectively every day towards its cure.

We plan to increase opportunities in housing for seniors, returning citizens, our lowest-income residents, youth who are aging out of the foster care system, and individuals in need of mental health support. We want to ensure we implement policies to prevent residents from being displaced due to gentrification, such as tax deferral programs for very low- and low-income homeowners and housing rehab programs. Stable housing is an issue I do not take lightly. As I mentioned earlier, I know what instability can feel like. And I am grateful to both Greta Harris with the Better Housing Coalition and Laura Lafayette of the Richmond Realtors Association for their leadership on this issue. We are already making progress in this area. As you may remember, in 2018 we set a goal to increase the number of housing units that are affordable in our city by 1,500 by 2023. Tonight, I am happy to report we will not only achieve this goal, but surpass it THIS year, with 1,628 units completed or under construction by the end of 2020. Richmond can do more, and we will do more! That is why, for the health and welfare of many of our residents, we also need to reimagine our public housing stock. As you may know, the Richmond Redevelopment Housing Authority is a federal entity whose local administration is overseen by a board of directors appointed by the Richmond City Council. I'm committed to working with the Council and RRHA and federal and state governments in the coming year to change the landscape of public housing in our city. Whether it is through Section 8 vouchers, tax credits to developers of low-income housing, zoning regulations or a combination of all these factors, everything must be on the table as we seek to help public housing go

from concentrated, segregated and dilapidated to dignified, healthy and accessible. And we need to do so in a way that preserves the generational bonds in these communities but fosters a healthier life in healthier homes for our families. That's not being radical, ladies and gentlemen. That's being respectful. Another way we respect our neighborhoods is by improving the quality of life in those communities. Most of you probably do not know this, but 51,000 Richmonders live farther than a 10-minute walk to a park. As a city we only use six percent of our land for parks and recreation, compared to 15 percent nationally. Parks and green space play a central role in the quality of life and livability of cities. They link housing, transit, water systems, education, and both mental and physical health. That is why in this coming year, I am pleased to announce that working with the Parks and Recreation Department and community partners, we will identify up to 10 parcels of unoccupied, city-owned land to close this gap. And in Phase One of this initiative this year, we will prioritize the design of five parcels of new green space for the enjoyment of our residents and all who visit! Using the heat island maps created by Jeremy Hoffman, Chief Scientist at the Virginia Science Museum, and data compiled by Richmond's Office of Sustainability, we will focus on areas that are shown to be excessively vulnerable to climate change, such as high temperatures or flooding.

We will also work closely within those communities to ensure that the green space is designed in a way that best suits the needs of that specific community. This will be a community effort. I am appreciative of the folks who have agreed to support this work and become part of our “Green Team.” As stable housing is foundational to building One Richmond, so is frequent, fast, and reliable public transportation and its supporting infrastructure. That's why in the last three years, we have dramatically improved the transportation, mobility and safety of our residents and those who work here. Working with our partners at GRTC, we implemented the Transit Network Plan, and launched the Pulse, which has shattered ridership projections and increased GRTC usage by over 18 percent. We've installed bike lanes running down Franklin Street, and along Williamsburg Road, with plans for 14 more miles of two-wheeled protection, including Brook Road. Most importantly, we implemented Vision Zero, which to date has installed 280 high-visibility crosswalks and retimed 400 signals to help keep folks safe. At the end of the day, we are all pedestrians. And that is why we worked with Council and safe driving advocates to pass a ban on the use of handheld mobile devices while driving a car, so motorists can keep their eyes ON the road and OFF Insta. This new ordinance, which takes effect in June will not only keep Richmonders safer -- it will save lives. I would be remiss if I did not recognize Louise Lockett with Bike Walk RVA, Janet Brooking with Drive Smart Virginia, and community advocates Patty Kruszewski and Brad Hughes, for their powerful testimony during the December 9th Council hearing on this ordinance.

We can, and will continue, to build the multi-modal transportation system and road network that Richmonders want and deserve. Currently, there is a bill working its way through the Virginia General Assembly now that has the potential to be a game changer for not only our city, but also our entire region. House Bill 1541, sponsored by our own Richmond Delegate Delores McQuinn, calls for the creation of a Central Virginia Transportation Authority, similar to the current authorities in Hampton Roads and Northern Virginia. Simply put, this initiative would provide $168 million a year for transportation needs in the region. Fifty percent of the revenue will be distributed to localities like the City of Richmond, 35 percent would go to the region for critical transportation projects like the Mayo Bridge and the bridge on Boulevard over the train tracks, and 15 percent would go to support GRTC. This means we would get the funding we need to address our $100 million in road infrastructure needs to fix our streets and sidewalks and upgrade emerging neighborhoods like Scott's Addition and Manchester. This means that we have the potential to continue to improve access to GRTC routes. I'd like to thank Delegate McQuinn and my fellow regional leaders for working together, and urge the General Assembly to give us the tools to address our growing transportation needs. Another core pillar of One Richmond is our children and their families. Of course, I can think of no greater need, no higher priority, than ensuring the health and welfare and education of our children.

It is our duty to help them grow. And to help them become strong and happy adults with the best chance of success in life requires us to think broadly about their needs, and the needs of their families. We do this in a number of ways. Last year, for instance, we provided 117,000 summer meals to kids so they wouldn't go hungry when school was not in session. And our nationally recognized Office of Community Wealth Building continued its critical mission to lift up the most vulnerable in our community, serving 17,800 adults last year at our Career Station centers – AND providing more than a half million dollars in training and support services like transportation, books, supplies and uniforms to customers living in poverty. You already know about our successes in expanding out of school time programs throughout our city. But tonight I am proud to announce that as of this week, ALL elementary and middle school Richmond Public Schools students will have access to a quality after-school program, either on-site or nearby. This does not happen without partners. That is why I would be remiss if I did not recognize the good and generous work of leaders from our philanthropic and nonprofit community who serve on the Out of School Time Steering Committee and drove this citywide expansion over the last two years. As we have progressed in this administration we have also come to the conclusion that looking out for our families requires a holistic approach. Currently, Richmond lacks a clear, cohesive vision for children and families. City agencies operate myriad programs to serve children and families, but they lack a direct line of leadership and oversight, operating in silos within their own departments.

As a result, we risk redundancy and unnecessary expense, and we are unable to support continuous improvement of programs across agencies. That is why I am pleased to announce that this year we will create in the City of Richmond the first-ever Office of Children and Families. Its job will be to set a bold vision to ensure that Richmond is the best place to grow up and to raise a family, from child health to adequate income, community learning and promoting health environments. This idea grew out of the leadership and recommendations of the Children's Cabinet and I'd like to thank its members for their hard work in guiding this vision. Ladies and gentleman, this is the type of collaborative approach to problem solving that my administration is all about. We are already hard at work on a number of these priorities, and I will just mention one: The creation of a Maternal and Child Health Regional Task Force. This group of community partners, health experts, doulas, mid-wives in training, health advocates and mothers are tackling the racial disparities in maternal and infant health in Richmond, Henrico and Chesterfield. Groups like Birth in Color RVA; Healthy Hearts Plus II -- Mommies, Bellies Babies and Daddies; Urban Baby Beginnings, Nurture RVA, the Richmond Doula Project and others will work with the Richmond City Health District under the direction of Dr. Danny Avula to make recommendations to improve maternal and infant health outcomes for Black mothers and babies. I'd like to recognize Dr. Avula and these providers for their important work. Finally, economic empowerment is vital to building One Richmond. Government must do more than just fill potholes and pick up the trash. We must also contribute to the economic uplift of our people.

Last year, I presented a transformative project to revitalize the center of our Downtown. My team and I worked tirelessly over 21 months of negotiations to deliver a project to the City Council that stays true to my commitment to build One Richmond and provide opportunity for all. And now we stand at the crossroads of a tremendous moment to revitalize the Navy Hill neighborhood and accelerate the already ascendant trajectory of our city. My friends, we either go boldly into this new decade, or become keepers of the status quo. The status quo takes us down a path we know all too well – an underutilized neighborhood smack in the middle of downtown that has grown an anemic 2 percent while the rest of the city has grown at a robust 8 percent. That's the road Richmond has travelled in the past. It’s the old Richmond way. The other takes us down a path toward hundreds of units of affordable housing. $300 million in contracting for black and brown businesses. A new convention center hotel. A renovated and restored Blues Armory. An arena that will host top-tier concerts, sports tournaments, family-friendly entertainment, and much more. And as of yesterday, even a hockey team! And let's not forget – a projected $1 BILLION – that's billion with a capital “B,” in revenues I have earmarked for schools, housing and roads. There have been countless community forums, and public hearings and citizen commission meetings.

The administration and the folks who run the Navy Hill District Corporation attended all of them. And we listened. We listened after hearing concerns over the size of the increment finance district. So we worked with Delegate Jeff Bourne to introduce House Bill 1345, which will allow the city to receive a rebate of sales tax revenue, and shrink the district from 80 blocks to 11 blocks. After hearing concerns over the impact the project might have on school funding, we listened. And my administration announced yesterday it has committed to holding school funding harmless. Specifically, after a historic investment in fiscal year 2020, we will continue to allocate more than 57 percent of real estate taxes to RPS. This commitment aligns with the policy established by Councilwoman Kristen Larson's Resolution 2019-R009, which was approved by city council last March. After hearing concerns over the number of affordable housing units in the project area, we listened. And with the addition of two sites, the proposal as it now stands meets the 15% affordable housing threshold that Councilwoman Ellen Robertson and Richmond City Council requested in 2018. Some questioned whether the project would attract tangible jobs and investment. Again, we listened. And now CoStar, a Richmond-based NASDAQ 100 company, and CEO Andy Florance pledged to relocate 2,000 jobs to the office space of the project. Thank you, CoStar, for your commitment to Navy Hill and this city.

At the crossroads of this decision, Andy and CoStar know the road to take. In fact, so do most of the people in this city. They stop me on the street. They tell me they want to work in good jobs in our city so they can put food on the table and a roof over their heads. They want to live in the city and have access to affordable housing downtown. They want good roads and strong schools. And they want to go to an arena, and spend their money in OUR city – not in Norfolk, not in Charlottesville – but here, where they can see their favorite entertainers and teams perform. Now, perhaps, we should listen to THEM. You know, I’m proud of this administration. We have been diligent. We have been conscientious. And we have listened. Legitimate concerns have been addressed, and thanks to community input we've made a good project even better for our residents. Yet after 26 months, some still doubt Richmond can do transformative things and fear Richmond will fail. This is rooted in something fundamentally Richmond, which I realized the other day when I stood in the historic Third Street Bethel A.M.E. Church with two dozen ministers and listened to Dr. Gould-Champ speak about the struggle between faith and fear. Dr. Gould-Champ and 48 other ministers, put their names to a letter and endorsed this project as a “fair, thoughtful and inclusive way to continue the revitalization of Richmond.” And she said something very significant as well. She said this project cannot be done without faith.

And she's right. Our city has a history of resisting change, and of letting past defeats stoke fears that challenge our faith in the future. Yes, we’ve taken some swings in the past, and missed. But if we truly want the change we need, if we truly want to move on from the mistakes of our past, we can't be afraid to embrace opportunity when it stares us in the face. We have to believe in ourselves. And we have to have faith that we can do something great for our city. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here tonight to tell you that Richmond CAN. It is time that we have faith, not fear, and move our city forward in a way that benefits ALL Richmonders. And that is why I will not withdraw the ordinances I introduced last August. That is why I believe in Navy Hill. Bottom line. I believe in Richmond. I'm so proud of where we are, after where we were. And I'm so excited about where we're going. We've come a long way. The City of Richmond is better and stronger. And we are more resilient than many think. We've accomplished a tremendous amount. Yes, we have more work to do. And we are not going to shy away from it.

From doing the basic things – the improved and consistent delivery of city services we all depend on. The blocking and tackling. And from doing the hard things, to make life better for EVERYONE who calls Richmond home. The bold things. The things that require more belief than doubt. More vision than aversion. More faith than fear. I said it three years ago and it's true today. Richmond can walk and chew gum at the same time. In fact, we can RUN. As many of you know, I'm an old high school quarterback. There's a number of lessons I learned from the game. One of them is that teams that have the lead and play simply not to lose, well, they usually end up losing. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Twenty years removed from my last pass, I want you to know that I will leave everything on the field. That's how I approach my job each and every day as your mayor. As the son of a janitor. As the grandson of a maid. And I will not quit, I will not rest, until we have built the most welcoming, inclusive, equitable and competitive city in the entire country. Ladies and gentlemen this is OUR time, OUR chance, OUR opportunity to realize our potential to work together to empower others.

After three years, I know… RICHMOND CAN. Thank you! ##
