Got Prosperity?

You can. Together we can. The Richmond Independent Community Hour [the "RICH"] is a Local Solution to the scarcity of dollars in Richmond, VA: an indirect trading network using mutually issued, interest free credit to make trade possible.

The dollar isn't the only way to encourage people to work together. Among other benefits, interest free local currencies

• are resilient against recession and collapse
• do not favor the rich by bearing interest
• belong to communities, not to banks or governments
• prefer local goods and services over the globalized economy
• are used for economic regeneration and international development
• are consensual
