Who We Are
Racial Equity and Justice Organization (REJ) is a Black, Brown, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) founded and led nonprofit organization located on stolen land, Wabanaki Territory (Maine).
What We Do
We are a BIPOC founded and operated organization focused on healing, supporting, and building up BIPOC families in Wabanaki Territory (Maine). We approach this work with the idea that families have the right to thrive not just to survive. We provide resources to support our community in our collective journey to accessing more equality, resources, safety, cultural wellness, rest, empowerment, and opportunity. Family Care, Cultural Continuation, Liberation, and Healing are the foundational values of our work.
REJ Org brings families together through culturally nourishing outdoor and indoor gatherings. We are focused on doing activities that bring collective happiness because we simply deserve that. We gather resources for families and youth experiencing systemic barriers, discrimination, and racial battle fatigue to make gatherings as healing as possible. Through retreats and growing foods and medicines we make collective care possible and accessible during times self care is harder to achieve.
