Promise of People

We believe the people of Russell are assets to their community and to our city. They are whole, creative, and capable of maintaining partnerships that lead to equitable investments in Russell that build increased levels of ownership and multidimensional wealth for Black families. Russell residents have co-created RPOP’s values and approach and serve as members of our team and Board, and their opinions, desires, and necessities are reflected in all RPOP’s decisions through a high degree of community outreach and engagement.

Promise of Place

Our place-based investments are the reflection of our connection with the people of Russell and living proof of our accountability to them. We believe that to build Black wealth, place-based investments must add more value to the Russell community than they extract, fairly balance risks and rewards among all stakeholders, starting with residents, and give options for multiple types of ownership to guard against displacement. RPOP adheres to these values in its place-based work.
