what we’re advocating for
dismantling barriers to coastal access
ocean justice and environmental stewardship
shifting surf and beach culture
In our ongoing efforts towards decolonization, Salted Roots acknowledges that we are occupying unceded and stolen Ohlone lands. These lands and waters we work and play in are and have always been, the land of Indigenous peoples. And so, we pay our respect to our Indigenous elders – past, present, and future – and hope to help heal colonial traumas and create a path for joy.
As we continue to fight for equitable beach access, we recognize that we must be in conversation with and follow the guidance of the Indigenous communities who are the rightful stewards of these beaches. Salted Roots is working to strengthen our relationships with these communities, deepen our knowledge, and follow the path of deep listening.
We welcome all feedback as we continue to learn and grow.
