Racial Justice Commitment

Our commitment to unraveling white supremacy culture, colonialism,
and other forms of domination

​​Ripple Collective is committed to emergent processes, power-sharing, our ongoing learning process around social-environmental justice, and creating a culture of rest, play, inclusivity, authenticity, and collaboration. We actively challenge ongoing colonialism and systemic oppression through our curriculum, relationships, and community practices.

We incorporate practices of collective liberation and dismantling racism into our everyday, relying especially on tools from dRWorks and the Emergent Strategy Series by adrienne maree brown. Our continuing education around social change comes primarily from The Eco-Institute at Sanctuary Farm, Comrades Education, Natural Curiosity, and The Red Deal.

We recognize that we are owned and run by European-American teachers, our students are predominantly white, and we are in a county that is 90% white.
The fight against racism is our issue. It’s not something that we’re called on to help People of Color with. We need to become involved with it as if our lives depended on it because really, in truth, they do."
- Anne Braden

"If you have come to help me, you are wasting your time. But if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together."
- Australian Aboriginal Elder Lilla Watson
