Rooted in Justice & Regeneration
for the Land & People
NOT YOUR USUAL FREELANCERS
Our work is needs-based and evolves with the needs of the communities we work alongside.
​
We support, collaborate with and connect local and transnational initiatives for land, sovereignty and liberation led by Indigenous, Black, POC, migrant & refugee communities from an intersectional framework, taking into account the layered impacts of race, sexuality, gender identity, class, ability, nationality, age and language on equity.
​
Through community organizing, mobilizing, public workshops, organizational capacity building and restructuring, we work to:
​
1) Decenter colonialism and capitalism through engaging individuals, communities & organizations in critical analysis of how these systems show up in our behaviors and spaces.
​
2) Grow the capacity of communities for direct action as a means of sovereignty & liberation.
3) Co-Create and support spaces for the regenerative practices of BIPOC communities.
4) Transform organizations & institutions to center nurturance, equity, diversity and transformative approaches to responding to harm within all of their operations & work.
5) Unlearn colonial behaviors and frameworks by engaging settlers in doing the work of reconnecting with pre-colonial identities, undoing patterns of settler harm and building positive relationships with BIPOC communities that are based on consent, accountability, trust, respect, solidarity, and love.
