Radicle Root Collective’s work is located within an ecosystem of social movements for racial, gender and economic justice. We are nourished by and feel accountable to nourish organizations imagining and practicing into being the kind of world we want to live in.
In that spirit, each quarter RRC redistributes a portion of our profits to a BIPOC-led social movement organization nominated and voted on by RRC Collective members. Here are 5 featured organizations and why we love them!
Between 2020 and 2023, RRC has distributed $20,800 to 12 spectacular organizations!
“They are a local Providence org that works on housing and wellness for queer youth in the PVD (Providence, RI) - and one of the only houses in PVD that centers queer youth. They are community leaders in care and mutual aid.”
“Movement Generation has done really incredible work around climate justice and supporting interconnected movements for justice, while modeling beautiful practices around community and organizational partnership. Alongside Sogorea Te’ Land Trust, they recently took 43 acres of land in the East Bay off the speculative market and are planning to build a Justice & Ecology Retreat Center on this beautiful land to serve as their organizational home base, an ecological resilience demonstration site, and a space for hosting retreats, workshops, and strategy sessions for their wide network of organizers, healers, artists, and earth workers.”
“Queer Black trans womxn led and focused!”
“The Black LGBTQIA+ Migrant Project (BLMP) is led by the people who are directly impacted by their work. I’ve seen them unapologetically center Black queer joy while taking powerful action to disrupt the harmful impacts of multiple systems of oppression including immigration systems, homophobia, white supremacy, and capitalism.”
“Like the Bay Area, Boston has experienced rapid gentrification and a crisis in housing for the lowest income earners in the city. I have deep roots in the queer and trans youth communities in Boston- and have supported queer youth to survive the winter there, access extremely limited housing options (shelters, low cost housing is almost non existent) and access trans health services for many years. The Transgender Emergency Fund is the only organization dedicated to supporting low income and homeless Transgender individuals in Massachusetts and is a Black led organization. Unlike many other east coast cities, Boston’s resources for BIPOC trans communities remain very limited - and I know the redistribution funding through RRC will go directly to folks most in need of direct funds right now.”
