WE ARE BUILDING A PLACE FOR PEOPLE OF THE GLOBAL MAJORITY TO BE TENDER AND TOUCH THEIR GRIEF.

With the support of song, holders who are carnage-informed, and the earth, we are building earth domes of resistance, inviting the earth into our grief practice and life design — being supported by the earth in return.

Grief to Action is a semi-mobile network with a land-based sanctuary in the Mojave Desert of Southern California. The sanctuary is Black-led, centering African-heritage folks and all People of the Global Majority. We hold space for the deep grief and rage that gives birth to the creative solutions we need to resist oppressive systems.

We are building a physical place for rest — a hub for The Chronically UnderTouched (CUT) Project, through Holistic Resistance a network of humans who see each other’s full humanity — and programs to move through the historical and present systems that block us from closeness with each other, and with the earth.
