“While our histories are distinct, there are many parallels between how Black and Indigenous communities have experienced land theft and dispossession, redlining, and food apartheid [...]. With this recognition, our communities have been coming together in solidarity around deeply aligned visions, values, and strategies.”
Check out our Co-Ed, Melanie Allen, and Common Future’s Manager of Direct Investments, Jamie Gloshay’s latest article in Non-Profit Quarterly: Reclaiming Land Ownership in Black and Indigenous Communities.
The piece delves into the shared history of land dispossession faced by Black and Indigenous communities, examining its enduring consequences. It also showcases innovative investment strategies spearheaded by Black and Indigenous leaders. Rooted in ancestral wisdom, these approaches seek to reclaim land, enhance food security, and foster sustainable economic development within our communities.
