We believe that all people want to live in diverse and inclusive communities where their neighbors are thriving.  Most people don’t like gentrification yet don’t know what to do about it. 

But what if we use principles of cooperative economics and racial equity to pool the capital of long-term residents and new, so our communities can grow wealth together? 

Using Liberatory Design principles, we experiment and test approaches in our communities, grounding ourselves in history as healing and instructive. We practice creative courage, reinvigorating our ability to imagine, dream, design, and create equitable futures together.
