Seeding Liberation:
The Winter Harvest

What if we all got off social media and got into community? Into practice. Into learning how to communicate. Through the cold months we keep the fire lit and fund the roots: twenty thousand seeds, ten dollars at a time, toward the two hundred thousand dollars that carries this Black-led collective through winter and into spring. It is possible, because it was always going to take all of us.

Every $10 is a seed, whether you plant one gift or plant yourself as a member. We begin with $4,500 already in the ground from our fall harvest. Now we gather in for winter.

First milestone: triple the fall harvest, $13,500. Then we keep climbing all the way to $200,000.

Choose your path · a choose-your-own-adventure

Get off the feed. Get into the field.

Give once, get into practice, learn to communicate, or just stay close to the work. There are four ways into the garden this winter. Pick the one that is yours. The $10 seed, memberships, and the DCC All-Access Pass are all tax-deductible.

Plant a seed

One gift, ten dollars, planted through our fiscal sponsor so it is fully tax-deductible. The simplest way to feed the harvest. Plant one seed, or plant a whole row.

The season · November 1 to January 31

One winter, three movements

The harvest moves with the season. Here is how the winter unfolds, and where you can step in.

November · The Gathering In

We open the winter harvest. Plant your first seed, pick up the merch, and bring your circle to the field as the days grow short.

second movement

December · Keeping the Fire Lit

Holiday shopping with purpose through the Creators Market, and our New Year's Eve Liveathon to carry us across the threshold together.

third movement

January · Into the Light

We begin the year rooted with the New Year's Day Liveathon, honor the dream at the Dr. King Liveathon, and close the harvest on the 31st.
