Organizer
Richmond Swap Squad
We host community clothing swaps in Richmond to reduce overconsumption and keep textile waste out of landfills while bringing the community together. Inspired by Remake's 90-Day No New Clothes Pledge, our mission is to make sustainability accessible while strengthening local connections—creating a space where people can exchange clothing, share resources, and support each other on the journey toward a more sustainable lifestyle.
