LION is a BPOC grassroots collective getting land through reparations
Our work addresses the inequalities in access to land and food, and reimagines land stewardship towards climate and racial justice.
Towards Land Reparations
LION works for land justice through reparations. This means redistributing resources to Black and People of Colour, and creating spaces for BPOC to heal and repair the intergenerational traumas of land dispossession and extraction.
Building ecosystems
LION functions as an ecosystem builder, creating opportunities for Black and People of Colour to connect with the land, with nature and with each other.
Liberation Through Land and Racial Justice
We are taking back stewardship of the land as the basis for revolution and sovereignty in our communities. Fostering a relationship with the land beyond the dynamics of extraction, we affirm our right to grow and live in right relationship with the earth.
