Projects and activities aimed at supporting the physical, emotional, and spiritual well being of PGM will be developed with the goal of building a thriving healthy community. Utilizing a framework as envisioned by Velda Thomas LMT, a Wheel of Vitality, will support the well-being of PGM individually, in groups, and as a community. The focus of activities will center around those that are easily accessible and peer-to-peer facilitated where possible.

NBC Garden Activities

In 2025, we are beginning an experiment in a distributed model of a community garden. This first year we are focused in the ancient territory of the Suquamish, among others, known today as Quilcene.

In the days to come there will be a weekly calendar for ways to plug into the NBC garden as well as other PGM gardens that are looking for support.

 FAQs

  • In the spring of ‘23, a few local PGM got the idea to imagine a sustainable way for PGM to feed themselves as a way to cultivate community.

    We wish to recognize our sources of inspiration - Jessaca Lee of JCARF and Peter Mustin of Woodbridge Farms.

  • We have adopted the term “people of the global majority” [PGM] to replace the popular moniker “people of color” [POC] as a departure from the fallacious notions of color as a meaningful indicator of character.

    Nomenclature is essential to our goals and how we function. The use of the term people of the global majority (PGM) fits with our vision and values. While we honor Loretta Ross, an African American woman, who coined the term:” women of color” in 1977 which led to its current wider use of “people of color”, we feel the conversation has recently evolved.

    The term People of the Global Majority was coined by Rosemary Campbell-Stephens as late as 2011 and popularized by Dr. Barbara Love as early as 2013. Both women of African descent are thought-leaders in the area of liberatory theory and praxis.

  • While we always seek to uplift PGM who have particular needs, our primary goal is to develop a resilient community among ourselves. We believe this is the best way to make a contribution to the lives of all beings on the Olympic Peninsula, and Jefferson County in particular.

  • Family members of PGM kin are always welcome at our exclusive events. We also welcome thoughtful partnership and support from non-PGM as the occasion arises.

  • If you are a PGM, you can sign up to receive news, updates, or a food box through a password-protected portal here [link].

    If you are an interested non-PGM, you can sign up for our newsletter here [link].
