Seeding Our Future: Recovering from COVID + Climate Crises
Seeding Our Future:
Recovering from COVID + Climate Crises
Illuminating the relationship between the climate emergency and the COVID-19 pandemic.
It’s no secret that our collective ecosystem is out of balance. Impacts on our physical and mental health are interwoven with the wellness of our world. That’s why we’re working to deepen our relationships with each other and care for our kin not only in times of need but during times of joy too. Through community collaboration and environmental reciprocity, we rise together!

#DancersAgainstDAPL
#DancersAgainstDAPL was created to spark conversation and action within our communities. By connecting the impacts of settler colonialism from Standing Rock to Huichin (known to many as the Berkeley), this short film aims to inspire people to step up in solidarity with the water protectors fighting the Dakota Access Pipeline or with the Ohlone protecting the West Berkeley Shellmound against development.
A We Rise Production in collaboration with dancers, mothers, child-care givers, and generous donations given through time and energy from our community.
