Decolonize Abundance

What is Decolonize Abundance?

Mission

Decolonize Abundance is a Reparations and Food Justice Project.

DA’s Cashless Reparations platform seeks to connect Black organizers and their communities to direct reparations from white people in the form of items and services. This includes the educational and consulting services provided by our Food Justice Project.  

Those who join and give in DA’s networks must commit to our Mission and agree to follow our Community Agreements in order to create the safest space possible for the Black and brown communities we serve. 

Along with reparations, DA seek to educate white members of the project and our public following on deconstructing white supremacy, capitalism, consumerism, paternalism and other forms of both social and economic marginalization. This includes the educational and consulting services provided by our farm. 

On Pause: DCA Farm, our Food Justice Program, is on a mission to give food to free pantries, free fridges and community groups or networks for folks who are experiencing hunger and live in a food apartheid. The farm’s first-year goal is to provide eggs and fresh produce grown on the farm to free food networks within the Greater Richmond, VA area. Over time, the Food Justice Program will provide free educational classes on topics such as farming, food inequity, and leading a “Buy Nothing” lifestyle.

Values

  • We believe in community collusion* and subverting capitalism to create an equitable and sustainable future for our

    world.

  • We believe in the inherent worth and value of humanity. Everyone has something to offer. Everyone's needs and

    wants are valid and there is no wish too large or small to request.

  • We embrace abundance and reject the scarcity model of economics and social capital.

  • We believe that our needs and desires are many times best explained to the world by modeling and creating systems that serve both us and our planet.

    * a model of collaborative community care that seeks to join together people and their resources for the greater benefit of the entire collective especially to decenter capitalism.

Vision

Decolonize Abundance envisions a world where the liberation of all people is a reality. We see a future in which the concepts of Afrofuturism and other indigenous practices are embraced for the healing of humanity, and our natural and spiritual world.
