Our Work
Our Mission
We aim to disrupt then dismantle predatory systems that erode home, property and land ownership within Black, Indigenous and communities of color, while decolonizing our understanding of land to support models of collective land stewardship.
We are fighting for a future that:
Closes the racial wealth gap
Builds intergenerational wealth
Restores property access and control to the rightful stewards
Reconciles human connection and relationships devoid of "isms"
Recognizes past traumas and honors lineage, heritage, initial promises of liberation
Upholds what was promised
Cares for the land/the earth as part of stewardship
Repositions humans as stewards, rather than destroyers of the planet.
Restores the village.
