Byrd House Market invites you to become a locavore
Do you know what a locavore is? No, it is not someone who eats trains. A locavore is someone who helps cut down on greenhouse gases by buying food that is local and not trucked in from far away. Do your part by shopping at the Byrd House Market.

Border Crossing Puppet Show
June 17 @ 7 p.m.
William Byrd Community House
224 South Cherry St.
Richmond, VA 23220
In April, two Virginia activists walked three days south crossing the Arizona desert into Mexico. They walked in solidarity with the countless number of people who traverse the dangerous terrain in search of better lives in the U.S., to protest unjust anti-immigrant policies in Virginia and the millions of dollars annually spent on border militarization.
Jeff Winder and Sue Frankel-Streit of The People United! will report back on their experience with a puppet show. They will also promote the Fifth Annual Gathering of The People United \”Taking Root: Building Community, Sustaining Resistance\” to be held the weekend of June 27 in the mountains of central VA. All are welcome to come. This is a kid-friendly event.
