Six years ago, the Richmond Hills Initiative (RHI) was conceived as a means of permanently protecting our beautiful and fragile Richmond, California hillsides against ill-advised development. Two years later, the RHI was adopted unanimously by the Richmond City Council - thanks to a massive effort by all of you!

Since then, we?ve seen several attempts on the part of speculators to overturn the will of the people, all of which, happily, have failed.

Now, a new legal challenge has arisen. It?s being presented in two phases. The first phase has already been through the court and was quickly and summarily dismissed. The second phase, which has its first hearing on December 9, 2021, is more complex, and we feel that we need to provide further specialized legal support to the City to ensure that the RHI remains intact. So, we are once again asking for your financial help to fund that support.

We need to raise a total of $20,000 to pay for the legal assistance we are providing. So far we have raised over half that. All proceeds from your t-shirt purchases will benefit the RHI legal defense fund.

Together we can preserve these beautiful hills for generations to come.
