The Rhizome Collective

Rhizome: An expanding underground root system, sending up above ground shoots to form a vast network. Difficult to uproot.

The Rhizome Collective is a non-profit organization based out of a warehouse on the East Side of Austin, Texas. We operate an Educational Center for Urban Sustainability and a Center for Community Organizing. We are a consensus-run organization.

We are working to build the world we want to live in. In our worldview, the dominant values of competition, greed and exploitation would be replaced with cooperation, autonomy and egalitarianism. We believe that all struggles against oppression and for self-determination are connected, and that it is important to construct viable alternatives while simultaneously fighting for social justice.

Community participation is necessary and central to this challenge. We invite your involvement! Click here to take virtual tour!
