Founded in 2017, The Greater Us is dedicated to deep culture change and anti-oppression work through a trauma-informed lens. We treat inequity, discrimination, and oppression as community concerns rather than individual problems. We aim to meet the gaps that often exist between good intentions and positive impact by empowering organizations, institutions, and community groups with the tools they need to create environments in which everyone can fully be themselves and thrive. 

  

We are dedicated to intervening in and addressing cultural conditions that lead to violence, discrimination, and exclusion, and all of our work integrates a deep commitment to addressing the historic and systemic impacts of inequity. Our work is trauma-informed, meaning that we take into account the impact of: 

1) living in oppressive systems as people with marginalized identities,

2) historic and collectively-imposed forms of oppression,

3) sustained engagement in anti-oppression work.
