Supporting the Palisades rebuild, and building a model for all disaster communities


Team Palisades grew out of borrowed corners and improvised meeting rooms. In the weeks after the January 2025 fire, neighbors found each other on glitchy Zoom calls, over cups of coffee in local shops, and squeezed into borrowed spaces around town. Out of those small, determined encounters came a shared conviction: that recovery would be stronger if it was built by the community itself, with many voices and many hands at the table.

That spirit took root one Saturday in March, when a group of Palisades residents gathered at Team Molly’s space. World Central Kitchen served us a hot meal, and between bites we began sketching out what support could look like—block by block, family by family, and business by business. What started as conversation around folding tables has since grown into a living framework for rebuilding: block captains connecting neighbors, volunteers stepping forward with skills and time, and a widening circle of partners committed to our long-term recovery.

We’ve come far since those first tentative meetings, but our work is still just beginning. Team Palisades welcomes new energy, new ideas, and new neighbors every day. Whether you join as a volunteer, a partner, or simply as a voice in the conversation, you are part of writing the next chapter of our community. This is the essence of our work: neighbors helping neighbors, not just to restore what was lost, but to create a Palisades that is stronger, more connected, and more welcoming than ever before.

Native Roots Network's Mission: Advancing Indigenous-led Pathways for Just and Vibrant Communities (since 2004)

[Native Roots Network](https://www.nativerootsnetwork.org/) (NRN), is an Indigenous-led nonprofit based in Wintu, Yana, and Pit River territories. We empower Indigenous communities by advancing a shift from extractive systems to regenerative ones, guided by our mission to create just, vibrant, and culturally grounded futures.

Through cultural revitalization, organizing, advocacy, community care, and the arts, NRN delivers sustainable solutions to today’s crises while strengthening individual and collective well-being.

At the center of our work is *Acornomics*—an Indigenous value-based development framework rooted in reciprocity between people and the land. Just as Native Californian Peoples care for the oaks that sustain us, Acornomics informs our workforce development, place-making, and land stewardship efforts.

With your support, we are building Indigenous-led regenerative projects on our land, including:

- A Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) land management team
- A localized fabrication and production lab
- Native and healthy food gardens with traditional preservation practices

Your donation will help us steward this land, grow these enterprises, and create the financial sustainability needed to thrive for generations to come.

**Donate today to help us bring Acornomics to life.**
