Richmond is at a turning point. Decisions are being made that affect our neighbourhoods, our families, and our future — often without meaningful input from the people who live here. That's why ARCA exists: to give everyday residents a real voice in shaping our city.
By becoming a member, you're not just joining a group — you're joining a movement. A movement that stands for community safety, transparent leadership, balanced development, and protecting the unique values that make Richmond a place we're proud to call home.
Whether you want to stay informed, get involved, or simply show your support, your membership strengthens our voice. It tells decision-makers that we are organized, united, and ready to speak up for what matters.
Join ARCA as a member and add your voice to a growing movement of Richmond residents.
