A
Member

Thank
you
honorable
speaker
since
1976
the
Richmond
Women's
Resource
Center
has
provided
care
and
support
for
women
in
Richmond.
They
operate
on
four
key
pillars:
empowerment,
support
through
education,
safe
space
and
social
justice,
welcoming
to
women
of
all
ages
and
backgrounds.
Rwrc
offers
basic
English
writing

lessons
healthy
food
skills
for
families,

women
and
Leadership

series
and
a

A
Rwrc
can't
do
all
this
great
work
alone
and
that's
why
they
hosted
their
signature.
Fundraiser
this
past
Saturday
their
event,
recognized
International
women's
day,
which
honors
the
courageous
women
who
demanded
to
be
counted
as
full
and
complete
persons
and
wouldn't
take
no
for
an
answer.
Women's
rights
have
come
so
far,
but
there
are
still
miles
and
miles
left
on
this
road
and
the
work
of
rwrc
will
help
us
on
the
journey.
I'd
like
to
thank
the
rwrc
board,
which
is
