Rooted in the Work isn’t just a store…

it’s a movement.

Every item we create serves a purpose: to restore, to connect, and to honor the stories that shape us. From forever items like MetroCards for community care to limited releases tied to liberation and justice, this is where impact meets action.

We’re not here for empty buzzwords. Every product is a piece of a bigger vision—funding self-care, dismantling systemic harm, and creating pathways to freedom. What you buy here isn’t just a product; it’s part of building ecosystems where we can all thrive.

Whether it’s something practical for today or something intentional for the future, everything here roots us in what matters: justice, care, and the collective work ahead.

Our Community Care Collection:

This collection is about redistributing resources, not just selling products.

Access to transit, food, and healing should be basic, not a privilege. But in a capitalist system, those essentials are kept out of reach—especially for young people navigating displacement, gentrification, and systemic barriers.

Community care means we all receive. This collection makes sure of that.

Care Without Condition

〰️

Care Without Condition 〰️

Our Care Without Condition tracker is a real-time record of how resources move through Rooted in the Work.

Every ride, meal, and contribution is tracked transparently, showing the direct impact of community support.

Small actions create lasting change, and this spreadsheet is a living reflection of that.
