CANDOR: THE QUALITY OF
BEING OPEN AND HONEST IN EXPRESSION; FRANKNESS 

CANDOR is an Autistic, Neurodivergent, Chronically-ill, and Disabled led organization, living across intersections of race, ethnicity, sexuality, gender and spirituality, working to address the systemic barriers and attitudes that hinder our access to opportunity, resources, and belonging.

 

We are reimagining what it means to sustain both people and land, not through extraction, but through relationships built on interdependence, disabled and generational

wisdom, and joy.​

Rooted in disability justice, we resolve to build economic

opportunities that honor our capacities by creating responsive

programs, shaped by the needs, desires, and brilliance of our communities.​

For example: leading accessibility audits and workshops, growing culturally relevant food at our farm, freely distributing produce, creating pathways for Disabled artists, or modeling radical inclusivity at our eco-grocery store. Each is a refusal of scarcity, a commitment to access, and a strategy for collective liberation. We build jobs for us, by building systems

with us — rooted in our realities, needs, and brilliance, and designed to shift the stories told about who we are.

CANDOR operates on the traditional, ancestral lands of the Eno, Occaneechi, Tuscarora, Shakori, Sissipahaw, and Saponi Peoples.  We pay respect to their elders, both past and present, who have been stewards of this land for generations. We engage in our work here with humility and reverence for the original peoples of this land and hold awareness of the legacy of violence, displacement, forced migration, and settlement.
