Wicuhkemtultine Kinship Community

Sherri Mitchell, a Penobscot activist and author, is teaming up with other Wabanaki women to launch a land-based educational and healing center.

The Cowasuck Band of the Pennacook-Abenaki People

From the Cowasuck Band’s website: “There is a growing effort to bring history back into focus and to correct many misconceptions about the relationship of Native People, such as us, and the founding of the United States. We were not all killed off by disease or warfare and did not disappear with the colonization of this country. Many of us became the individual fibers of the weave that made the cloth of the United States and Canada. We are among you, working beside you in all walks of life. Unless we told you who we were, you would probably never know us.” Donate now.

The Peoples Solidarity Fund

Inspired by a national movement to #sharemycheck, the Peoples Solidarity Fund is a NH-based funding campaign to redistribute stimulus checks.  A number of our community members as well as grassroots organizing groups will not receive critical relief in this time of crisis.

Soul Fire Farm

Soul Fire Farm is a BIPOC centered community farm committed to ending racism and injustice in the food system. We raise and distribute life-giving food as a means to end food apartheid. With deep reverence for the land and wisdom of our ancestors, we work to reclaim our collective right to belong to the earth and to have agency in the food system. We bring diverse communities together on this healing land to share skills on sustainable agriculture, natural building, spiritual activism, health, and environmental justice. We are training the next generation of activist-farmers and strengthening the movements for food sovereignty and community self-determination. 

In light of the COVID-19 outbreak, it is increasingly essential that we grow our own food and medicine towards self-reliance and community resilience. Soul Fire Farm is offering materials, seedlings, soil, labor, and ongoing guidance to support folks in Albany and Troy in establishing raised-bed gardens outside of their homes, drawing on community collaboration and mutual aid. We see this work as a continuation of that legacy of a long lineage of BIPOC growers who developed alternative food systems to sustain their own communities. Read more about our framework.

Soul Fire Farm volunteers will provide a no-cost raised bed and starter plants to qualifying Capital District households. Our Soul Fire in the City program centers BIPOC folks impacted by food apartheid, survivors of mass incarceration, refugees and immigrants, people with disabilities or chronic illness, elders, and families with children. Donate now. 

Liberated Capital

This fund—directed by the Decolonizing Wealth Project —aims to move untethered resources to help shape a future in which we can all heal from generations of colonial trauma and thrive in our cultures. Rooted in relationships of mutuality and equity, Liberated Capital gives through a reparations model that trusts and supports the leadership of those most impacted by historical and systemic racism. The fund welcomes support from individuals at all levels of giving who are committed to collectively healing the wounds of colonialism and white supremacy by using money as medicine to shape an equitable future.

In response to the global pandemic, Decolonizing Wealth Project has launched a rapid response fund to provide emergency support for the most vulnerable Native American families and communities impacted by COVID-19. This follows the same giving model as Liberated Capital. This is about solidarity, not charity. Donate now.
