The word radical comes from the Latin radix, which means from the root. Today the word radical is commonly associated with revolution.
We believe that gardening has the potential to be revolutionary on a personal, communal and global scale.
Radical Living participates in this revolution through a three-pronged approach:
MISSION
Radical Living is an asset-based community organization (501c3) that aims to build community around food, sustainable practices, and green spaces by supporting resident-led efforts to increase healthy food options, educate residents about their role in the food system, and reconnect residents to food, earth, and each other.
VISION
Radical Living envisions a sustainable society that lives in harmony with the earth’s ecology and protects the living world on which it depends; a world where the systems of power and domination that threaten and marginalize whole segments of society are dismantled; where black and brown and all children, poor and working poor families, the LGBTQ community, and all immigrants, are valued and strengthened to meaningfully participate in a beloved world community.
