In honor of our launch, Taproot Earth produced a riveting seven-episode virtual experience featuring the voices of frontline leaders who are confronting and advancing solutions to the climate, economic, and political crises of our time.
This seven-day storytelling journey is rooted in Black liberation, Indigenous leadership, and the wisdom of frontline solutions. Beginning with a sacred remembrance of the impacts of Hurricanes Katrina and Ida, the series shares conversations and reflections that reveal the collective power of frontline communities to rise and meet this moment, so we can all live, rest, and thrive in the places we love.

EPISODE 1: REMEMBER
Born of climate disasters and sustained by the frontlines, Taproot remembers and honors the strength of those most directly impacted by climate change. Featuring: Teresa Fox-Bettis
We reckon with how practices of extraction, disinvestment, and scarcity create the climate reality we are in and learn how we move toward solutions rooted in restoration, abundance, and love. Featuring: Marsha Jackson and Veronica Coptis
We reclaim our connection to each other and the planet through our relationships with land, water, and energy so we can build a way forward to a collective future. Featuring: Former Principal Chief Thomas Dardar and Bette Billiot
We repair the harms that extractive economies inflict on our communities. We move resources rooted in reparation and mutuality to those who need it the most. Featuring: Alison Corwin, Ashleigh Gardere, and Flozell Daniels
We reimagine how we can advance a more equitable and just democracy that restores our relationships to one another and the planet. Featuring: Denise Fairchild and Anthony Giancatarino
We rest to honor pauses in our work and movements. Rest is resistance to a system that continues to extract. Rest reimagines our relationship to our labor. Rest allows us to connect with our own humanity and our place on this planet. What can we learn when we slow down? Featuring: Taproot Earth’s own Anthony Giancatarino, Colette Pichon Battle, and Mana Tahaie
