Who We Are…
Rooted Futures Collective is a DFW-based, community-driven movement blending science, Indigenous wisdom, & creative action to build a just, regenerative future. We empower people to reclaim agency over their environments, institutions, & futures through education, advocacy, & restoration.
We’re not waiting for change. We’re growing it from the roots up.
We are built on the belief that change begins at the roots — where ethics, ecology, & equity intertwine. Our principles are not slogans; they are our working compass, shaping how we lead, build partnerships, & show up for our communities & the planet. Each decision we make reflects these commitments in action.
1. Integrity in Action
We lead with honesty, transparency, and accountability — not as buzzwords,
but as daily practice. Every project, dollar, and partnership reflects our
commitment to ethical stewardship and community trust.
2. Justice at the Roots
Equity isn’t an afterthought — it’s the foundation. We center marginalized
voices, confront systemic harm, and design every solution to repair what has
been unjustly taken or ignored.
3. Ecology as Teacher
Nature is not a backdrop — it’s the blueprint. We learn from natural systems
to guide our designs, policies, and partnerships toward balance, reciprocity,
and regeneration.
4. Collaboration over Competition
We build coalitions, not empires. Rooted Futures thrives through shared
power, collective decision-making, and mutual aid among communities,
partners, and ecosystems.
5. Truth and Transparency
We believe knowledge is a commons. We share data, research, and results
openly to foster informed action, public trust, and accountability.
6. Regeneration and Repair
Our work heals land and people alike. Every initiative aims to restore soil,
strengthen relationships, and sustain long-term well-being beyond any
single project.
7. Future Ancestor Mindset
We act with reverence for those who came before and responsibility to those
who come next. Our work is not for profit — it’s for posterity.
