Our Approach
As we reimagine how we support one another in a local economy, we do the work of unlearning oppressive and hierarchical practices that have harmed working class communities of color. We live into our values by working with an ethos of collective leadership structure, hiring local vendors from our community, practicing language justice, partnering with values-aligned allies, and centering the cultural wisdom and lived experiences of our team and community.
We envision a regenerative Northeast LA that transforms our relationship to land, labor & care.

Community Economies
Our vision for Community Economies is inspired by compare - the Spanish word for share. With a new physical hub and an ecosystem of community members and allies, we are building a local sharing economy. The economic livelihood for working class neighbors in Northeast LA is strengthened by regular practices of economic solidarity - resource exchange, mutual aid, and local spending.
