Coffee with a Cop

Posted on March 3, 2025 by Nakele RechenauerMarch 3, 2025

On February 21st, we kicked off our very first Coffee with a Cop of 2025 at Cafe McBryde!

Community members had the chance to chat, ask questions, and connect with Richmond Rotarian Chief French, the RPD command staff, City Manager Shasa Curl, and Councilmember Jamelia Brown. Everyone enjoyed some delicious coffee and freshly baked cookies courtesy of Cafe McBryde while getting to know one another. What a fantastic way to unite our community and build relationships between our officers and community members!

A special thanks to Cafe McBryde for graciously hosting! If your business or organization is interested in hosting an event with RPD, we would love to hear from you! Please get in touch with our Richmond Rotarian Michelle Milam at the Crime Prevention Unit at mmilam@richmondpd.net.

Healing Through Farming
Artlyn Johnson and Porsche Combash

In plants as well as in any other biological systems, problems often develop when the root of said system is damaged, neglected and poisoned. We overlook the ancestral wisdom, of herbal knowledge and foodways as a means of medicine for the body, mind & spirit. We teach folks to use planting ( whether it be a yard or yardage) as a remedy when confronting the problems that stem from colonialism, racial inequality, health disparities and the delocalization of real food sources.
