FORMATIONS

Formations are frontline-led networks practicing shared governance to build alignment, deepen relationships, and advance collective strategies rooted in self-determination.

Convened and resourced by Taproot Earth, they are spaces where frontline leaders connect, coordinate, and move solutions forward across regions, building community power, climate repair, and justice together.

partners

In addition to formations on the frontline, Taproot Earth works in relationship with a broad network of partners, coalitions, and movement spaces advancing climate justice, Black liberation, and Indigenous sovereignty.

We hold these partnerships and affiliations with care, as each reflects where we build, contribute, and organize alongside others in support of reparative climate action.
