We at Gathering Ground reside on the unceded territory of the Lenni Lenape, and acknowledge the global territories of indigenous peoples stolen through the act of colonization and repeated violence. We encourage you to acknowledge and learn about the original indigenous caretakers of the land you currently reside on and may be from.

We also must acknowledge that much of the wealth, infrastructure, and culture of this country, historically and through the present day, is only possible because of generations of enslaved peoples, primarily those of African descent, whose labor, wealth and lives were stolen or decimated. That enslavement continues today in the carceral system and others.
