Happy Family Gathering

our mission

Our mission is to improve the ecosystem of reproductive and environmental care in Chicago through land and community stewardship. Our pathways to achieve this are through direct care services, education programs, cultural events, and multi-intersectional community bridging. 

our vision

Our vision is simple: a future in which members of the African Diaspora and Native/Indigenous communities are resourced and free; where we take care of Earth and Earth takes care of us; where our communities are safe, secure, and sustained, and every child born is born loved and liberated, to be raised in care– from infant to elder.
