The entire leadership, staff, and board of Ties to La Tierra consists of BIPOC individuals. Every one of us has Indigenous diasporic roots spanning North, Central, and South America, originating from areas heavily impacted by colonial and imperial forces. Our organization doesn’t adhere to conventional governance structures found in nonprofits. Instead, we embrace Indigenous approaches to horizontalism and assume complementary roles to fulfill organizational responsibilities. We collaborate with collectives, organizations, and groups representing our diverse diasporic communities, including BIPOC individuals and people from the global south.
