Transparency Statement:
Our statement is in progress with our Community Engagement Committee and Board of Directors, and is published on our Community Engagement page.
We are asking ourselves the following questions as we emerge our understanding and share our position:
How might we go about understanding our roles in relation to decolonial governance and land relations under colonialism?
What big systems change are we capable of as grassroots, frontline, direct action organizers with access to power?
How might our mycorrhizal network support us in navigating power systems towards the change we wish to see?
How might we translate coded spaces, and walk our words into the worlds we want to live and be in together?
Where and who have we learned from, how do we honour those teachings and carry them forward?
