About

How We Work

We believe racial justice requires new approaches toward creating, transferring, and distributing wealth, power, and intentional wealth generation.  Achieving justice requires an end to the unequal treatment under current policies and practices that create wealth disparities and the generational loss of wealth and the narratives that perpetuate harm.  Our systemic, practice and narrative solutions will be community-centered. We seek to achieve long-term goals, and the work will evolve over time.
