Rooted to Last (R2L) strengthens networks, builds knowledge and resources, and champions collective action that increase investments in leaders and organizations from Minnesota’s communities of color to build enduring social justice movement infrastructure.

We have the opportunity to ensure Minnesota’s future outcomes reflect collective joy and prosperity where race will no longer be a determinant of outcome. To do so means we must move strategies forward that build enduring movement infrastructure so communities can ambitiously make justice, joy and abundance a reality.

* The state takes its name from a Dakota phrase, Mni Sota Makoce, which translates to “land where the waters reflect the clouds.”
