A Red Circle

A Red Circle, founded in 2017, exists to promote community betterment in North St. Louis County through a racial equity lens.

Purpose: Economic development through a racial equality lens.

Vision: To restore North County to a safe, vibrant, sustainable, and economically sound community that remains diverse.

Current concerns in North St. Louis County that impact quality of life and health are the lack of sustainable jobs, education disparities, limited healthy food access, financial pressures, low voter participation, and exposure to the arts. We approach these issues in a holistic, collaborative way – working with residents, elected officials, community leaders, volunteers, and more.

A Red Circle is a tax-exempt organization with 501(c)(3) status, a proud member of the Greater North County Chamber of Commerce, and the Heartland Midwest Black Chamber of Commerce.
