Make Waves with Rich City Rays
Rich City Rays is empowering Richmond, California through accessible water sports, environmental stewardship, and bold protests. Our programs remove financial, cultural, and physical barriers that have historically limited water access for Richmond residents. Rich City Rays center frontline communities of color in leading the fight for a world beyond fossil fuels through kayaktivism.
By bringing community members out on the water through kayaking, we build confidence, leadership skills, and access to nature. We then use those skills to support environmental advocacy for residents in Richmond and adjacent communities. Our programs create space for community members to connect with each other and to help safeguard the Bay’s natural resources. Your donation helps us offer free and low-cost kayaking sessions, youth programs, and community events.
