Our Team

We are a multiracial, multicultural & multigender team. Many of us come from lower class backgrounds. Many of us are LGBTQ+.

We are consistently working to deepen our commitment towards sharing power and democratizing leadership, dismantling white dominant culture, and creating a culture of support and care.

We care deeply about the work we do and work hard to show up for our community. We also care about one another. What we do externally, we practice internally. How we relate to one another internally affects the external. We aren’t perfect. We have conflict. We try to be accountable to our harms. We encourage feedback. We are trauma informed. We try to change the structural systems that keep us from caring for one another and ourselves. We also live under capitalism, scarcity, and a world that tells us we don’t belong. We acknowledge that these things are deeply inherited and are working to unlearn them. We are interdependent on one another and how we show up affects one another.

We co-created and passed an equitable salary structure that we will continue to collectively iterate on. Our full time is 32 hours per week, and we have plentiful PTO & sick leave as well as selfcare days & holidays. All staff members, regardless of the number of hours, are entitled to benefits.
