About Nexus Community Partners
We build engaged and powerful communities of color...

...so that each and every person can flourish in a joyful and abundant life.

For this to be possible, we must usher out the rigged rules, attitudes, and practices that concentrate wealth and power in fewer and whiter hands. And we must usher in ways of living, working, and making decisions together that nourish communities for this generation and generations to come.

We work toward a future where…
…the places and spaces we share allow us to explore and express the depths of who we are — celebrating our joys, and healing our pains.

We honor our responsibility for each other, knowing that we are all connected — what affects one person or community, affects another. So, we first make sure that each and every person has their essential needs met, and we grow from there. That’s just what makes sense.

We nurture the prosperity of our communities — and in this prosperity, our health, joy, peace, love, safety and the needs of future generations come first. We foster our relationships with each other and with the land, and work cooperatively to cultivate and share this prosperity in our communities.

We relish our distinctive cultural practices, traditions and needs. For our world to work, we all need each other. When we nourish each of our unique contributions, our world is a better, more interesting place, and we are more powerful together.

When we make decisions that affect all of our lives, we share the power in making those decisions. We create and maintain processes of collective decision making that ensure that power continues to be informed by all of us, and the structures we use to make decisions actively repair and heal the harm from hyper-individualistic white supremacist structures.

We repair and heal our individual and collective trauma, knowing those are interconnected. Each person gets to heal on their own terms, and collectively we confront oppressive systems that get in our way. We honor the trauma and resilience of generations that came before us. When conflict or harm happens between people, we use interactive, daily practices that anyone can do.
