Privilege allows some to look the other way, to not take up the task, to be indifferent, to stop learning.
Meaningful learning requires questioning and discomfort. Transformative learning requires practice. In our work, we strive to identify systems of oppression, acknowledge and question our participation in those systems, and take actions to create policies and practices to dismantle these systems and foster equity for the well-being of our children and the betterment of the world. |
Oppression takes form in racism, militarism, capitalism, sexism, heterosexism, ableism, ethnocentrism, anthropocentrism, authoritarianism, nationalism and dogmatism.
Equity takes form in the movements of anti-racism, environmentalism, feminism, pluralism, altruism. Together we navigate this complex world and moment by moment we are challenged to dismantle oppression and strive for equity. Learn more about our Social Justice commitment |

"One of our responsibilities as human people is to find ways to enter into reciprocity with the more-than-human world. We can do it through gratitude, through ceremony, through land stewardship, science, art and in everyday acts of practical reverence."
- Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass
