Richmonders Involved to Strengthen Our Communities

Redeemer is a member of Richmonders Involved to Strengthen our Communities (RISC). RISC’s mission is to build a powerful community of racially, religiously, and socioeconomically diverse congregations that address the root causes of injustice in Richmond. RISC has won significant victories for affordable housing, elementary reading, child trauma response and health care. In 2025-2026 RISC continues to follow up with Mayor Danny Avula and Richmond City Council to fund the Affordable Housing Trust Fund. We intend to hold them accountable and ensure the law is followed and those most in need are helped. New this year, RISC is conducting research into the many dimensions of our area’s Mental Health Crisis.
