OORU

  • An aspiring non-profit

  • Builds capacity in local care collectives by sharing transformative justice tools to:

    • Create a shared vision for intergenerational healing, collective joy, and a world without systems of violence.

    • Support each other and our communities without judgement, stigma, or coercion.

    • Change how we are with ourselves to change how we are with each other and how we are collectively.

    • Reconnect with ourselves, our Home, and our ancestors; understanding how we may have internalized systemic oppression.

    • Use a theory of change framework to address root-cause issues

  • Uses implementation science to install, implement, and evaluate the community care plan designed by the care collective.
