Our Purpose

We envision a world where oppressed communities lead the movement for climate justice. Our work was born out of a deep need to address environmental inequities that disproportionately harm Black and Brown people in urban areas—communities often excluded from climate solutions.Our big picture goal is to build sustainable, culturally rooted food systems that improve health, restore agency, and create pathways to green jobs. Through our Food Sovereignty Circle, we provide all-ages STEAM education, indoor gardening kits, composting tools, and community-led research opportunities. Our approach is hands-on, healing, and grounded in ancestral knowledge and science.We believe that food sovereignty, clean air and water, and climate education are human rights. Our programs empower families to grow their own food, reduce waste, and collect local data that shapes climate solutions.We do this work because climate change continues to disproportionately impact the most marginalized, yet solutions often exclude them. We’re building a future where communities lead with knowledge, reclaim their agency, and thrive in the face of environmental crises.
