Help Us Cultivate Our Garden
Help us grow into a sustainable organization so we may continue to support others to do social change work sustainably.
Our mission with this work is to support heart-first activists and social change communicators to avoid burnout and build strategies to cultivate connections that empower social change. I believe connecting with storytelling is how we shift our culture for a better future.
Our organization's financial model is designed to bridge toward a decolonized view of work and value. The roots of change agency is built on a community-led model. Subscriptions and support allow us to create and release more resources for the whole community. The more we develop our work outside of capitalism and extractive models, the more we can live and build a better way of working. I hope that you will support me in this vision!
Become a Supporter
We advocate for slow productivity as a way to intentionally build strategies to meet our world's largest crises.
We are flipping the script on supporter tiers! The bigger the support, the slower the tier.
In addition to each tier's perks, each supporter will be gifted memberships to the roots of change newsletter which includes exclusive newsletters, podcasts, videos, resources & workshops. Supporters can either share memberships with their community or we will help match each membership with a fellow activist from our complementary membership request list.
*note: merch will be shipped in Q1 2025
Donate a Membership
Activism is often defined differently by different people. I view activism in the broadest sense of the word as a way of being and living in this world. I founded this agency and media company to harness my love of writing and 15 years of marketing experience to help less-resourced activists and organizations create impactful change starting with how they connect and communicate.
Unable to donate a full membership, donate what you can.
