Rooted in Mount Vernon. Standing with communities ready for change.
Stand Up. Be Heard. Take Back Our Future.
Your family deserves safe streets. Your hard work deserves a fair shot. Your government should answer to you.
Former Mayor Richard Thomas is bringing people together to demand accountability, confront neglected problems, and fight for a stronger future.
Join us. Help turn community concerns into organized action.
Our Mission
People organized. Power accountable. Communities stronger.
We must learn to fight less with each other and more for one another. That means building relationships, asking hard questions, and organizing around the decisions that affect our lives.
Build Power Together
Every block has people who see the problems and have ideas to solve them. We bring those voices together across neighborhoods and communities. When people connect, share information, and organize, they gain the power to press for change.
Make Government Answer
Public money deserves public scrutiny. Decisions deserve explanations. Residents deserve answers. We will ask where the money went, who made the decisions, and what results people received. Our standard is Results, Not Rhetoric!
Fight for What Matters
Getting home safely. Finding a clean park for your children. Receiving reliable services. Having a fair chance to get ahead. These everyday needs shape our priorities and give our work its purpose. Tell us where your community needs action.
About Richard Thomas
"We must learn to fight less with each other and more for one another."
Richard Thomas
Richard Thomas knows what it means to lead under pressure.
At 33, he became the youngest mayor in Mount Vernon's history, serving from 2016 to 2019. His administration pursued safer neighborhoods, pressed for bridge investment, advanced Memorial Field restoration efforts, and expanded access to government through livestreamed meetings.
His service continued beyond City Hall. A September 11 survivor, husband, father, and strategist, Richard continues advocating for health protections, stronger infrastructure, and economic opportunity.
Today, he is bringing that experience to a broader mission, helping people organize, demand answers, and fight for their communities.
