We Believe Small is All

We believe in the power of small, intentional actions. By nurturing tight-knit, supportive communities, we lay the foundation for larger systemic change. Every conversation, relationship, and act of care contributes to the larger web of healing and justice.

We Practice Radical Honesty 

We practice radical honesty in all our interactions, acknowledging the complexity and difficulties of our work while striving to create spaces where truth can emerge without fear of judgment. We understand that healing and transformation begin with an honest appraisal of where we are and where we need to go.

We Work Diligently, Not Urgently

We prioritize long-term, sustainable change over immediate results. While we acknowledge the urgency of many social issues, we are committed to a pace that allows for deep healing, thoughtful action, and lasting impact. We work diligently, not urgently, trusting that meaningful progress takes time.

We Are Rooted in Our Past

We honor our histories, knowing that the wisdom of past generations offers valuable lessons for today. Our programs center the stories, struggles, and resilience of marginalized communities, ensuring that the work we do is informed by both lived experience and historical context.

We Believe in Our Future(s)

We believe in the promise of a better future, one that is shaped by our collective commitment to justice and healing. We work to nurture the next generation of artists, advocates, and healers, creating a legacy of care, support, and empowerment.

We Honor Interconnectedness

Our work is grounded in the understanding that all things are interconnected. Healing is not an individual pursuit, but a collective one. We foster networks of mutual aid, recognizing that the well-being of one is inextricably linked to the well-being of all.

We Believe in the Right to Movement & a World Without Borders.

We are committed to the abolition of borders and systems of displacement. We believe that all people have the right to live freely, to migrate, and to seek safety and opportunity wherever they may go. Our advocacy and programming aim to dismantle the systems that criminalize movement and separate communities.

We Are Abolitionists

As abolitionists, we work toward the dismantling of punitive systems, such as prisons, policing, and other forms of institutionalized violence. We believe that safety and justice are achieved through community-led practices of care, accountability, and transformation, not through incarceration and punishment.

We Care for the Land, Like the Land Cares for Us

We are stewards of the land, recognizing that the health of the Earth is deeply connected to the health of the people. We care for the land with the same love and respect that the land provides for us. Through sustainable practices and creative environmental justice initiatives, we honor our responsibility to protect and preserve the Earth for future generations.
