Greater Richmond SCAN (Stop Child Abuse Now), in partnership with VOICES for Virginia’s Children, is pleased to announce a screening of the documentary, Resilience.
Join us on Monday, January 6th, at 6 pm at the Richmond Public Library for a screening of the powerful documentary, Resilience. This film chronicles the birth of a new movement among pediatricians, therapists, educators and communities, who are using cutting-edge brain science to disrupt cycles of violence, addiction and disease. The film portrays a dynamic group of individuals who are proving that cycles of disease and adversity can be broken.
The screening will be followed by a conversation on advocacy about ways to advocate for children and families this coming year.
The Extinction Rebellion protests which started on a weekly basis this past July continues into the new year this Friday from noon to 1 pm in Monroe Park (corner of Belvedere and Main). They welcome everyone, and every part of everyone to this nonviolent demonstration. All ages are welcome. They stand in support of #fridaysforfuture and the #globalclimatestrike.
Friday evening, there is the opening at the Main Street library for a new exhibit called Evicted in Richmond.
Laurel Street neighbor Charles Pool, on behalf of the Oregon Hill Neighborhood Association, made a presentation to the Richmond 300 Advisory Committee at the Main public library Wednesday afternoon. Charles shared strong concerns that new planning would lead to allowing 8-story tall buildings to be built in Oregon Hill and other historic inner-city neighborhoods. Before making the presentation, he passed out copies of OHNA’s recent letter to committee members.
Event description:
Richmond city residents, join the James River Association at the Main Branch Library on October 29th for a rain barrel workshop!
Rain barrels are made out of heavy-duty plastic 55-gallon drums and connected to the gutter downspouts of residential homes, collecting rain runoff. Stormwater moves quickly over the paved surfaces in urban environments, picking up pollutants on its way to the James River. By collecting water from a rooftop to be used in a garden later, the total amount of contaminants being deposited into the river is decreased!
