Community Giving

LION is a grassroots Black-led collective committed to reparation in Britain by connecting land and climate justice with racial justice. We reimagine dynamics of land stewardship and are committed to deep healing of the colonial-rooted trauma that separates us from the land.

We understand land rights as the basis for revolution and sovereignty in our communities. Therefore we are working to transform the narrative around land in Britain. Including how it relates to intersections of race, gender and class for systemic change.

Land has always been a focal point for organising within our communities across the diaspora and it is our hope that this movement can continue in this tradition. One of our central aims is to purchase land and start an intentional BPOC land project. With this in mind we have started a land saving pot.

We have big dreams and we are a small team surviving on a shoestring budget. We have a large network of BPOC growers that we support, so we appreciate any financial support and resources that people can spare.

You can see some of the amazing projects we have worked on over the last year. Such as Rootz into Food Growing and our Growers Grant for Black and People of Colour. You can follow all our work via our website and Instagram.
