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.
