Our Mission
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide a door, a spark, the fruition of possibility to community members working for the betterment of their local communities. We are offering a banner to organize for justice, equity, and a sustainable future for our communities by engaging a local-first support system. We endeavor to be the rock organizers and social innovators can count on when getting into the messy and complex work of change.
Philosophy
Philosophy
Communities are complex and innovation in those areas requires patience, compassion, and a stroke of madness and it’s our philosophy that the solutions needed to address them often require a creative and compassionate approach. It is with this understanding that we take a strengths-based and holistic approach to assessing an initiative’s needs, strengths, and areas of growth.
Core Practices
Core Practices
Rebel Cause Inc is a living and learning organization. At our core, the right to individual and community self-determination drives our movement.
Values
Values
We use an ecological model and trauma-informed approach to building community.
It is our firm belief that community healing begins at the root, for it is from the “dirt” that society’s great movements and innovations were born. As a collective, getting “down and dirty” with a whole-person and systems approach is what defines our organization. We honor the individual in collaboration with the community and in alignment with their “highest consciousness?”.
