We are grounded in the belief that "Another world is not only possible, she is on her way"

— Arundhati Roy

We strive to reclaim our humanity by redefining power in order to end settler colonialism, capitalism, and patriarchy in their external and internalized forms. 

We are grateful to do our work in Whatcom and Skagit Counties on traditional lands of the Puget Sound Coast Salish people. The name Whatcom comes from the Nooksack people and means “noisy waters”. The name Skagit comes from Lushootseed Salish, the indigenous language of Puget Sound and the Skagit Valley, and means “to hide away”. 

The Puget Sound Salish tribes include the Skagit, Swinomish, Snohomish/Tulalip, Sauk-Suiattle, Duwamish, Muckleshoot, Nisqually, Puyallup, Sahewamish, Skykomish, Snoqualmie, Suquamish, Stillaguamish, and Squaxin tribes. You can find more information on the Puget Sound Salish culture past and present here: http://www.native-languages.org/puget-sound.htm

We respectfully acknowledge the contributions of the Coast Salish Tribes to this region that we all benefit from, including the knowledge to protect mother earth in the past, present, and future.
