Our Purpose

Roots2Empower was founded in 2019 to improve the lives of justice-impacted and low-income people in Southern New England. Since then, our mission has expanded to address the root causes of poverty and mass incarceration and enable civic engagement through economic empowerment, environmental connection, and food access.
