ROOTS

Rising Over Oppression Through Solidarity

At The ROOTS Project, we work with individuals and communities to tap into the feeling of wholeness that we have been taught to forget.

All people are boundless and full of potential. We live in a world that places borders and limitations upon us, but we remember another way is possible. At The ROOTS Project, we trust that community, responsibility and compassion can help us dream of and practice more liberatory ways of being. When we move at the speed of love and reciprocity, we can honor the wholeness that we all are. The path to freedom and liberation is at our fingertips and in our cells - join us in the unlearning, learning and remembering of it all.

Our struggles and our joys are interconnected.

There is so much possibility when we bear witness to our full humanity.

Planting seeds of love, liberation and responsibility can bring us closer to our freedom.

“ROOTS is like nothing else I’ve participated in. It is a practice of opening your heart and mind to a universal connection to others.”
