We are working to develop communities where everyone is empowered to shape and co-create the world around them. Where everyone’s basic needs of food, water and shelter are met without enduring exploitation. A world where everyone’s voice is heard and people are treated with dignity and respect.

A world where we recognize our interdependence  and reliance upon nature’s ecological processes as essential to our survival. A culture where we begin thinking of the impact of our actions 7 generations into the future and where we work to end the harm caused by systems of industrial capitalism in creating climate catastrophe. We understand our ecological problems to be rooted in our social problems. Thus to stop further climate catastrophe we must organize for system change.

Our projects such as the Municipal Eco Resiliency Project (MERP) work to address climate change through altering our fossil fuel dependent agricultural system and working towards food sovereignty. Our organization also works closely with the Institute for Social Ecology an early environmental justice organization.
