Rest with us as we step away from the grind. Leading up to Labor Day, we pay homage to the invisibilized and stolen labor of Black and Indigenous peoples, of migrants, of union (and non-unionized) workers internationally. May we bask in rest as a means of resistance.

Tap into REST by...
Doing just that - resting. Take a long nap in the shade. Unplug from your devices (and email!). Give gratitude for your being.

Tune in for the official introduction of the Climate on Tap series — featuring the team leading and guiding Taproot Earth into the future.
Colette Pichon Battle, Mana Tahaie and Anthony Giancatarino share their origin story and what roots them in this work and to each other. Together, their voices and experiences kick off this 7-day experience — and why they choose each other and their commitment to justice, now.

When we say #NoNewLeases, we mean we want a Gulf South that is rich and abundant with fish, birds, and fresh water, not privatized for drilling. When we call for investments in renewable energy, we need it to be justly sourced, so that the labor and practice is also sustainable.

Rise with us.
Dream with us.
Act with us.

Repair acknowledges the harms that extractive systems and corporate agendas have created. We commit to repairing the relationships we have with each other in our movements. We demand that repair starts with those most harmed historically and currently.

Reparations now.
Abolition in our lifetime.
Resource the work.

Tap into RECLAIM + RESOURCE by...
Repairing our relationships starts with us. To do so we need breath to heal and move. We invite you to tune into a meditation, sink into your breath. What guides you in this work? How and where does your breath guide you.
