MISSION OF ROOTS OF RESILIENCE PROJECT
To cultivate community, sow sustainability and grow more equitable and resilient relationships through land-based interconnection, inclusion, education and celebration in rural Jefferson County. We seek to generate additional layers of support for people who are not traditionally centered, especially affirming opportunities for Black, Indigenous, and all People of Color (BIPOC) or People of the Global Majority (PGM), including businesses and community members. We collaborate on grassroots efforts created by and for frontline communities, including small farmers, racial justice organizations, and food access/food sovereignty projects. In short, we work to create more spaces where people have a sense of interrelatedness and belonging.
