The Underground Center
Saugerties, New York
The Underground Center (UGC) is a space to explore viable alternative ways of living and to define the work required to realize it. The alternatives are diverse, but share a common goal: to create community that does not depend on exploitation, but instead nourishes the systems that sustain it. UGC is committed to a movement for social change from the bottom up by empowering marginalized peoples to create economic and social power through mutual aid and interconnectedness with the land.

Metis in Space
Edmonton, Alberta
Métis in Space is a podcast where hosts, Molly Swain and Chelsea Vowel, hilariously deconstruct the science fiction genre through a decolonial lens. They are unapologetically Indigenous, unabashedly female, and unblinkingly nerdy. Between 2019-2020, Métis in Space’s 2Land 2Furious Land Back project was successful in securing land.
