In addition to uprooting the existing soil and removing systems of oppression, we must replant the tree in an entirely new, healthy soil. In other words, as we are dismantling and challenging the existing world order, we are also working towards building and imagining a new world that cultivates justice and liberation so that all communities may thrive. This new soil represents a wide array of policies, practices, and values that constitute the “healthy soil” which will create equitable and just conditions (the roots) for the tree to thrive. This includes necessary approaches such as reparations, redistribution of wealth, community interdependency, abolition, and more.
