core beliefs
Indigenous and Black experiences are central to our work.
We let people impacted by harms speak for themselves, and we listen. Our intersectional work is rooted in an indigenous worldview and centuries of fighting for racial justice.
Money is our medicine for repairing past harms.
We use the distribution of money to create balance and harmony for all. Our primary audience is people who hold wealth—resources, money, and land—and their gatekeepers.
Mutual healing is the only path to mutual thriving.
We’ve all inherited history, it’s up to us what we do with it. We welcome everyone into our healing circles, to stop the cycles of harm and pain.
Speaking truth with love makes that truth easier to hear, believe, and act on.
We’re honest about harms past and present. We welcome all those willing to heal, and create onramps to change and avenues for reciprocity.
Stories draw people in, practical tools keep people moving forward.
We paint a picture of how things
could be and give people the tools to help them get there. This fuels new beliefs and behaviors.
