How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Accomplice Practice Over Charitymethodology: accomplice_practiceBy refusing complicity in injustice and centering impacted communities in solidarity, we enable authentic support, because effective allyship requires rejecting saviorism and operating through mutual accountability rather than isolated aid.
- Collective Power Buildingmethodology: collective_power_and_self_determinationBy supporting social movements and self-determination, we counter structural inequity and generate shared prosperity, because durable change emerges from organized community power rather than top-down interventions.
- Intersectional Systems Changemethodology: intersectional_fundingBy funding interconnected struggles around land, water, housing, and bodily autonomy—such as food sovereignty and energy democracy—we advance a just economy, because transformative change emerges when capital barriers are removed at systemic intersections of oppression.
- Restorative Capital for Community Healingmethodology: restorative_capital_deploymentBy deploying capital through non-extractive, culturally grounded models, we repair historical harms in Native and Black communities, because healing from economic and environmental injustice requires reclaiming cultural agency and rejecting extractive systems.
