You can help!

Our mission is to catalyze transformation within the BILPOC community, fostering justice, opportunity, and solidarity for all.

Repair

The food system has been built on the stolen land and stolen labor of Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, and people of color. This historical injustice has had lasting impacts on these communities and continues to shape the inequities present in our food system today. Addressing these systemic issues requires acknowledging this history, amplifying marginalized voices, supporting food sovereignty initiatives, advocating for policy changes, and working towards a more just and equitable food system for all.

Healing

Healing from a history of oppression is a personal journey that requires acknowledging your experiences, seeking support through therapy or support groups, practicing self-care activities, educating yourself about oppression, connecting with others who understand, advocating for change, practicing forgiveness, and setting healthy boundaries. Remember to be patient and compassionate with yourself as you navigate this process.

Justice

We invest in initiatives that address the root causes of systemic injustices, supporting communities in their journey toward healing and wholeness. By focusing on addressing these underlying issues, we aim to create lasting change and empower communities to thrive and heal from historical injustices.

What we stand for

Community

Our purpose is rooted in the profound belief that healing, reconciliation, and restoration are essential pathways to a liberated society.

Opportunity

By harnessing resources and redirecting them from instruments of division and control, we seek to catalyze profound shifts in our collective consciousness.

Justice

In unity and partnership, we welcome individuals and organizations seeking to rewrite the narrative of oppression and create a future where justice, equity, and solidarity prevail.

How we Heal

Through ceremony, education, and radical reparative giving, we will transform money from a weapon that perpetuates inequality into a source of liberation.
