Rooted in Resistance. Growing with Purpose.
Flowers & Bullets
We merge sustainability, art, and rebellion to liberate, heal, and empower.

Where We Started

Projects

Flowers are the art and bullets are the struggle. We are organizers creating outlets for under-served youth and communities, which highlight the life we live and the places that we come from. By sharing skills, promoting place-based connections in the barrio, and listening to each other’s stories we promote sustainable ways of living. These ways of life address some of the traumas in our community, caused by disproportionate minority incarceration, drug addiction, physical and mental violence, food insecurity, health issues, and economic disparity.

Climate resilience & food production

Water harvesting

Our approach to sustainability is deeply rooted in tradition and cultural reconnection.

Industrialization disconnected many of us from the land, our food, and our heritage. By embracing practices like gardening, water harvesting, and resource-sharing, we’re restoring self-sufficiency and keeping our traditions alive.

We’re also making sure that communities of color have a voice in the ‘Green’ movement, ensuring no one is left behind as we work toward a healthier, more sustainable future.
