Joy is resistance and hope is never lost when we replace cynicism with radical optimism and creativity. We believe in the power of storytelling, possibility and imagination to change our world for the better, shift social systems and actualize a more diverse and equitable future for environmentalism and the world.

We are relentless in our pursuit of a better and safer future for all people and amplifying the voices of the historically marginalized — especially those most impacted by the climate crisis. We understand the transformational effort required to enact long-lasting change and do not back down from our mission, purpose and integrity when we encounter adversity or challenges.

Knowledge is critical when we all have a responsibility to understand our role in the protection of people and planet. We provide information that is culturally competent and that highlights voices that have been historically excluded and suppressed from traditional education. We see community as a way to engage in learning, preserving and uplifting the intersecting realities that exist in environmentalism.

Every human is valuable and has the right to live healthy and full lives that are free from harm or limitation. We are committed to the communal work of creating and maintaining a fair and equal world and ensuring vulnerable groups are prioritized and protected in the process of world-building.

We believe in the power of the arts to move people, systems and perspectives in a way that brings about real social change. We lean on the cultural wisdom of our ancestors to apply an imaginative lens to change with the goal of sparking learning experiences and connections that are emotionally resonant, grounded in creative expression and focused on generating measurable shifts in power.
