Sowing Wildflowers (ABF Collective) is a Black-led organization working alongside Black survivors and their communities to create safety outside of carceral systems. Through educational, collective care, and organizing strategies we are building power around radical Black feminist values to end interpersonal and state violence.

We know that we are who we are today because of those who came before us, those who have sown into us the gift of hope and the spirit of collectivity. We know that survivors carry so much wisdom within us and we want to create an environment where we can encourage and support each other in growing and sharing our wisdom and experiences in the communities that matter most to us. Though we have waded through trauma and pain, we also want to prioritize the spread of joy, beauty, and the love that sustains us. We also welcome and expect the messiness that comes with unlearning harmful behaviors, resisting oppressive structures, and holding ourselves accountable to our values and to the people we are in community with. Our name is a reminder for us to honor our wisdom and the gifts within each of us.

Our name is a call to action to push ourselves and those around us to create beautiful and bright futures by cultivating our wildest dreams into realities that are co-created through practice and collective care.

Thank you for supporting our efforts!
